How to thank in the event of a death resulting from the donation?

Data: June 9, 2007

Reversal and gladly receive, then give me a comment while we work with all our friend blog:

Dear Prof Melandri, I kindly ask an opinion, which I believe could also serve to open a debate on his blog. As an association Cosopopo, it happens frequently, to receive donations linked to cases of family bereavement. I believe that in these cases, write a letter of thanks is particularly difficile.In general, our method of Thanksgiving is structured as follows:

1) The family of the deceased, tells us that wants to donate a gift for the death of a family. Often the donation comes from the contribution of colleagues.

2) The Agency, prepare a letter, explaining to colleagues who collect the donation for the deceased, and how the activities will be used cosopopo their donation.

3) A donation received, prepare two letters: one to thank the family of the deceased and the second to thank the colleagues who collected and contributed to the donation.

I wanted to ask you, if you kindly could give me tips on how to formulate a letter of thanks for the bereaved family. Thank you. Yours faithfully.

Dante

    I do not have much experience with respect to such letters but over time I've seen some, in fact I also received some.
    My advice is to use a simple tone with up to a phrase like "Thank you for your donation in memory of ..." and then the name and surname of the person. Especially in my opinion the letter should be brief and report will be used as money (sometimes it is the family that is, to choose which project to donate)

    And 'some days that I think (but do not believe I can do just that ..!), And apart from the advice that Valerio gives us on how to write a letter (see articles to download)-in which, even if they relate to the phase fundraising, there are interesting food for thought for the thanks-I agree with what Francis said in previous post. I think it is right to maintain respect for other people's pain without going too far with "words of comfort", rather (adversarial) thank you warmly, we understand that the money will be well used and that their donation is worth much, beyond those has zeros.
