Answer 1

Answer:

Dear Ms Petersen:

As membership chair, it is my privilege to invite you to join the Bay City chapter of the Service Corps of Retired Executives. We need you and you need us.

We are a volunteer, not-for-profit organization. We are retired business executives who give free advice and assistance to struggling small businesses. There is a great demand for our services in the Bay City area, which is why we are conducting this special membership drive. As I said before, we need you. The work is hard and the hours can be long, but it is satisfying.

Please find enclosed a self-addressed envelope and a membership card. Fill out the card and return it to me in the envelope. We meet on the first Monday of every month (8:30 at the Chamber of Commerce office). This is the fun part – strictly social. A lot of nice people belong.

*Hope this will help you, thank you & rate.
