---------------------------------

Answer 2

Use linen paper or other very professional paper, including a matching envelope. No designs, just high quality paper.

Put your name, address, etc. centered at the top of the page.

Skip a couple of lines, then on the left side of the page write the date in this format: Month 2, 2007.

You'll start with a salutation. If it's an organization write it to the President of that org thusly:

Dear Mr. Salamander,

Skip a line, then write one paragraph that briefly says, "Thanks for the scholarship." The first sentence should basically say who you are thanking and for what:

**** I am writing to thank you and the Organization of Reptile People (ORP) for the generous $1,243 scholarship you granted me toward my education at Tortoise State University.

In the next sentence (same paragraph) write something about yourself and why you appreciate the scholarship. For example,

**** I am a life long reptile supporter and this scholarship is a significant honor because it comes from an organization doing such good work. In addition to my gratitude that you chose me to receive this scholarship, the funds will make it possible for me to pursue my goal to become a Snake Psychologist and to do my part to make the world a better place for snakes. It is my hope that what we learn will ultimately benefit all reptiles and those who love them.

Next in a new paragraph say something that flatters the organization.

*** The ORP has long been recognized as the foremost promoter of factual information about reptilian emotions, and as such the organization deserves recognition. As the recipient of the 2007 Horned Toad Scholarship I promise represent the ORP with pride.

Then you'll wrap up with another new paragraph that consists of a repeat of your thanks,

*** Please accept my deepest thanks. I am proud to be the recipient of the 2007 Horned Toad Scholarship from the Organization of Reptile Promoters.

Use a standard professional closing, such as

***Sincerely,

Then skip 3 lines and type your first and last names, or your first name, middle initial and last name.

After printing it out, sign the letter above your name.
