Dear Sir or Madame:

We are very excited to announce the kick-off of our new Phone Fund Fundraising Program. We are asking you to participate by placing one of our bins in your office to collect unused cell phones, digital cameras, PDA's and laptops, and by spreading the word about the benefits of donating. Here are three reasons why we think you'll want to get involved:

* We're not asking you for cash donations!

* Donations of your unwanted cell phones, digital cameras, PDA's and laptops can mean support for our organization.

* You will be giving old technology new life and keeping it from polluting our landfill.

Did you know that cell phones, digital cameras, PDA's and laptops contain toxic materials such as arsenic, lead and zinc? According to a new study by environmental research group Inform, people in the US will soon be getting rid of about 130 million cell phones each year. "That's about 65,000 tons of cell phones and ultimately they are thrown away," says Joanna Underwood, spokesperson for Inform.

Electronics donated through our Phone Fund program, however, are given new life. Your throw-away phones, digital cameras, PDA's and laptops are desirable to people living in developing nations. Phone Fund makes your unused technology available to those who can use it, while keeping it out of the landfill.

Please allow us to post one of our informative flyers alongside a collection bin in your place of business. By doing so you give support to our organization and help us to continue our good work!

Thank you very much for your time, and thank you in advance for your participation in our Phone Fund Fundraising Program.
