Dear [Insert friend’s name]
I am writing to you because I would love to get you involved in a cause I deeply believe in – clean water and education in the developing world. I strongly believe that clean water is a basic human right and should be available to everyone. I also believe that education is the best way to eliminate global poverty and every child should have the ability to go to school.
I am working with an organization called Drop in the Bucket that drills wells at schools in sub-Saharan Africa and provides scholarships to girls in South Sudan (The country with the lowest percentage of girls in school in the world). Drop in the Bucket is a boots-on-the-ground organization that is making a real difference and with your help that can do even more.
Please consider making a one-time or monthly donation to Drop in the Bucket. It would mean so much to me and would help change lives.
Thank you in advance for your kindness and generosity.
Sincerely [Insert Your Name]
