Letter to family and friends

Dear ______,

I am writing to tell you about an exciting project our family is involved in. We are joining with James & Betty Robison at LIFE Outreach International to help raise money to drill Water Wells. LIFE Outreach is an organization dedicated to helping people throughout the entire world, which are in desperate need.

Water is a matter of life and death in many areas. Did you know:

• More than 1.2 billion people have no access to safe drinking water
• Twice as many people-2.4 billion-lack adequate sanitation
• One person dies every eight seconds from drinking bad water
• Some 60 percent of infant mortality worldwide is water related
• Over 2 billion people suffer each year from diseases linked to contaminated water

Our first goal is to raise $4800.00 to drill an entire water well. Each water well will reach an average of 1000 people, in most cases, for a lifetime. I have sent some information about the project for you to see. For more information you can call 1-800-398-2172, ext. 7500, or visit my webpage at www.AmbassadorsForLIFE.org/

Sincerely,
[YOUR NAME]
