Charity Letter

For tech apps, I had to write a business charity letter and merge it with a contact list from excel so here's the followup questions on it.

1. Take a screenshot of your charity letter and add it as a picture to your blog posting.

2. List the name of your business and its charity.
My business was Caterpillar and it's charity was the YWCA.

3. How did you get the audience’s attention in the first paragraph?

My approach to getting the audience's attention was to come straight out and state the facts and tell them what I'm asking from them.

4. What skills did you use/learn in this project?
I learned how to use Microsoft Excel a little bit better, and most importantly, I learned how to merge business letters with contact lists.

5. What was the easiest part of this project? What was the most difficult part of this project?
The easiest part of this project was probably making my contact list. The hardest part was coming up with a charity and writing the letter.

6. Describe how you might use these skills and apply them to a real-world situation other than writing a charity letter.
 If I'm ever working for a business and I need to send out a letter to several people, this is a quick easy way to address them all at once instead of making a document for each person. Another case would maybe be if I'm inviting people to a gathering for a birthday or something, and I want to make each letter addressed to each guest, all I have to do is merge them and I'm done.

7. Did you learn something new during this project that you did not know before?  If so, what? 
Yes, I learned how to merge letters and how to change the template on Excel so it's in an address book format.
