Letter to Newspaper to Reward People for Community Service

Dear Sir / Madam, I read in last week’s edition of the White Horse News that you are keen to reward local people who have made significant contributions to the community. I would like to put my mother, Mrs. Gillian Summerton, forward for this reward. My mother is a school teacher, and has done much to enrich the lives of the young people in her care. In her free time, she continues to give up her time to help people. She runs a ladies’ choir which is a superb opportunity for local women to get together and enjoy themselves. Moreover, the choir performs free of charge at charity events, and consequently my mother has been fundamental in both raising large sums of money and bringing pleasure to people. I know that my mother does not need a financial reward for her services to the community, as it gives her a lot of pleasure. However, I’m sure that she would appreciate formal recognition for her work, perhaps in the form of a donation to her preferred charity, the Red Cross. Thank you for your attention,
