Dear MrDavidson,

I am thepresident of Help the Children. Help the Children is a small charity forchildren with problems, perhaps because their parents are very poor, or becausethey do not have any parents, or because they have a physical and mentalproblem.
Help the Children urgently needs more money. We are buying a house inLondon and several children can live there. We have 115,000 pounds and we need15,000 pounds more. I am writing to you to ask for your help. If you give ussome money, we will be happy to call the house ‘The Charles Davidson Help theChildren House’.
Please writeto me, telephone me or send me an e-mail. Mr Davidson, we need your help!

Yoursfaithfully,

AlbertoBallesteros
