SAMPLE LETTER



To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter in support of Kamala Appel and her WADU proposal (Wildlife & Animal Documentaries Unleashed). She plans to support the marketing efforts of wildlife organizations who provide animal rehabilitation, exhibit, and rescue services. She will help various wildlife organizations educate the general public about animal and environmental issues. WADU will produce short documentaries about the animals and the organizations and assist in obtaining advertising venues for these short documentaries both online on the world wide web, and offline in theaters and on cable television. Her innovative personalized approach to storytelling will enable worthwhile wildlife non profits and small animal organizations to have a marketing reach that they would not have the resources to fund or produce on their own. Ms. Appel has a proven dedication to wildlife and using motion picture to educate people, this project demonstrates her commitment. [optional: I know this because...]

As a [occupation], I share her concern for the current conditions that animals face in the wild and when they encounter people. I strongly believe that it is an issue that affects everyone since the health of these animals influence the environment and diversity on our shared planet now and in the future. I think it is important that people have an opportunity to explore the issues that impact our environment and animals; WADU (Wildlife & Animal Documentaries Unleashed) could act as a catalyst to start an international conversation.

WADU (Wildlife & Animal Documentaries Unleashed) is a worthwhile educational/marketing documentary proposal. I am sure that you know how challenging it is for documentary film projects and non profits organizations like ours [your organization] to receive the funding they deserve, but the cost to all of us could be greater, if stories like the ones we and other wildlife organizations could tell, are never told. I strongly urge you to support this project and help it reach the big screen in any manner you can.

Sincerely,
