I like letter 1 a lot. But it’s probably too long. People (Like me ) have
short attention spans.
I like letter 2 also. It’s shorter and more concise, and I like subject
line one the best. I would participate in giving with either one of these
letters. Excellent job, David.
Thanks for asking for our input,
Fanita
