Dear Mr. Chang,
On last week’s local news broadcast, I listened to the story about your organization and how you and your group of volunteers are working to assist the elderly here in our community.
I would like to applaud you and your group for your efforts. The elderly is sometimes a forgotten age group in our society and I know some of them are struggling with life as they no longer can independently tackle some problems. I have heard about a range of free services provided by your organization, such as transportation to medical appointments, and dealing with routine household chores. All the work you have done not only makes life easier for the beneficiaries but also sets a good example to young residents in our community about how we can help older people.
I am so impressed by your mission that I would like to join your network of volunteers. I have worked as a taxi driver before and I would like to offer my assistance in transporting your elderly clients to the medical appointments. If you are looking for additional drivers, please contact me at the phone number provided. I would relish the opportunity to play a small part in your mission.
Sincerely yours,
