Dear Pham,

I wanted to know when writing a letter asking for donations, should I put the amount of my student loans or not? what is the best option? thanks smile.gif

Hmm...tricky. I think it depends on who you're sending the letter to. If you think they'll be more likely to be more generous knowing the amount, then put it in. If you think it'll only make them feel bad, then don't. Are you doing this through the Laboure Society? If so, perhaps you should talk to Cy about it...

Thank you Magnificat for your response, this is a seperate letter to the CEO of my company and my local Serra Club.

God Bless You!

My personal thought is to go ahead and put in the amt. of loans you have for the Serra Club for sure (they're used to dealing w/Seminarians with that issue anyway). With your CEO, it's less clear to me whether to include it, but I'd still be inclined to include the amt. Just my opinion though...

Prayers for your endeavor!

Seems to me also that including the amount is a good idea. Blessings!
