Personal touch

The signatory/sender of the letter may add a personal touch if the recipient is personally well known to him/her. Supten Sarbadhikari 00:39, 22 May 2008 (CDT)

Yes, that's a good idea of course! --Larry Sanger 14:01, 23 May 2008 (CDT)

How to transmit "sentence or two" and what should it/they say?

Regarding: "To make this event we have a small request to make from you. We are asking for a sentence or two from you encouraging people to join the project and show up for XYZ Week."

Should we suggest ways the recipient of the endorsement-request-letter could transmit her "sentence or two encouraging people to join the project..."?

Should we give examples of one-or-two-sentence-sets in the endorsement-request-letter, as a way of making it easier for the recipient to comply with our request?

Should we suggest recipient of the endorsement-request-letter, as one mechanism, to forward by email the letter to those they choose to encourage participation? If so, for letters sent postal, we could offer to send an electronic copy (PDF) of the letter to the recipient of the letter as an email attachment for that forwarding purpose? --Anthony.Sebastian 10:17, 23 May 2008 (CDT)

I suspect the answers to all of these quetions is "Yes"--although I wouldn't expect anybody to send such letters by regular mail. Please do feel free to edit the letter itself. This should be just as collaborative as any article. Thanks... --Larry Sanger 14:01, 23 May 2008 (CDT)
