Subject: Request for donation

Dear Mr.XYZ,

We, at Casey House would like to introduce ourselves as passionate health service providers for people with HIV/AIDS in and around Canada. We have presence in 23 towns in Canada. We have engaged with nearly 3400 patients over the past 25 years of our establishment and supported them with every possible service to fight and win over this deadly disease.

Since we are a non-profit-organisation, we work in conjunction with TD Canada Trust for fund raising and we have been holding a successful fundraiser- "Art with Heart" for past 20 years. It is evident that every year we need a lot of funds for medical equipments, expenditure on medicines, patient's nursing and so on.This year our fundraiser  Art with Heart is organizing an art auction scheduled in the month of August. We earnestly request if you could provide us donation via a work by Travis McEwen, one of your promising gallery's artist.

The result of your help can help many of the struggling patients to a get new ray of hope. Many would get a chance to recover and live their life again which they rightfully deserve.The more funds we have, better we can serve. Humanity is the religion which binds us all.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read the proposal. In case of any query, please call on +1- 9xxxxx9, or write us at [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you,

Sincerely,
