Fundraising Writing Samples

Question: Hello, I am trying to write a general Fundraising Letter for our new football team that we are starting….?
The letter will be about a New Football club that we are trying to start. We need to let them know that we have been in sports for a while under another club and that we are getting ready to start our own brand new club. Also we will be helping out a lot of the children within three neighborhoods. I have a couple of thoughts, but I am not sure of how to put it together. If anyone has a sample letter of sports and can send it ti me I will appreciate it.
Thank you.
Answer: good luck with that… just be original, say what you want to say and tell what needs to be said…

Question: Did Team McCain indulge in criminal behavior?
A Canadian newspaper reported Thursday that Friday’s scheduled $100-a-plate luncheon speech by Sen. John McCain in Ottowa was organized in part by U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins, a former South Carolina lawmaker whom President Bush appointed in 2005.
Democrats pointed out the article late Thursday night, and alleged that Wilkins’s actions could be construed as a violation of the Hatch Act, which prohibits many kinds of political activities by government employees.
…The Hatch Act circumscribes political activity for government employees. According to the American Foreign Service Association Web site, the State Department’s ethics office prohibits Fundraising Activities for its presidential appointees.
