Dear Mr. Francom,

On behalf of XYZ Charity, I would like to thank you for your contribution of $500 to our Summer Camp program.

For over 30 years XYZ Charity has been helping children ages 8 to 17 attend summer camps where they not only have the
best week of the summer, but develop skills and friendships that will last them a life time.

Because of your generous donation, we will be able to send an additional 4 kids to camp this coming summer. With your
assistance we have now committed to sending 390 kids to camp and will continue working hard to reach our goal of 500 kids
this year.

Again, we thank you for your generosity and look forward to working with you again next year.

Sincerely,

[Signature Required]
