Letter Proposal Final Draft

Dear Bob Stanley,

Utah State University’s spirit club, the Hurd, and the student athletes are hosting the first annual service project called Meet the CHAlleNGE “home renovation” on April 10, 2010. This project is meant to take a home in the Cache Valley area and renovate it for a local family in need in one day. This project is incredibly time consuming and budget sensitive so therefore we are calling upon the people and businesses within the community. We are currently in need of supplies and resources to make three ramps for our family. We are asking you to help us accomplish or goal and to help make a positive CHANGE in one local families life forever.

Your company was referred to us by one of our lead sponsors, the Cache Valley Radio Group. They have the highest praise towards yourself and your charitable donations in the past and after looking into Cantwell Lumber, we as a university knew that your business was just what we were looking for on such short notice.

The benefit of joining our cause not only brings you positive public relations within the community and the university demographic but it also promotes your company in the form of tax deductions. Utah State University is a non-profit organization therefore, by donating to the Meet the Challenge “home renovation” project you would be eligible to deduct your donation off your taxes.

The Kent family has a small severely handicapped child named Dameon, in December 2008 he was diagnosed with hydrocephalus (water on the brain) and after many surgeries he was left with little brain function and in a wheel chair. This is why we need your help. The current home the family is moving into is located at 444 East 180 South Smithfield, UT it does not have any ramps for Daemon’s parents to move him in and out of the house. I have attached three (3) pictures to this letter. One of the front steps, one of the back steps, and one of the garage stairs. We have had professional contractors come and inspect the steps to see what supplies we need and I have also attached that list to this letter.

This project is new to the university however, as Utah State University students and student athletes we are highly skilled in the form of serving others and as the project I have been working for six months to make this project possible. We have numerous sponsors and skilled individuals donating their time and expertise to help us, as students, accomplish our goal and we are positive that this project will be a huge success.

On the Cantwell website and card it states, “building solutions and project support." This local family truly needs us to "build solutions" for them and we are hoping that your company is willing to contribute to our efforts by donating the supplies we need to build these three ramps and make a positive change in the Kent Family's life.

Please feel free to contact us anytime, contact information is indicated below. We will be following up with your company in the next two weeks. Thank you for your time.


Sincerely,

JCOM 2160 Assignment #5

PHOTO #1



In this photo I used the magic wand for the green trim on the building and pike street sign, inversed the function then applied a warmer color filter to all of the picture other than the green. I created a copy of background and color burned the copy opacity about 40% then used the stamp function to add butterflies. After, I added vertical text with text tool compressed ad saved the picture.

PHOTO #2




In this photo I used the magnetic lasso to divide the picture in half. I applied warm photo filter to dock and wake houses, then applied cool color filter on the remaining portion of the picture. I then added Wrangell, Alaska text and added another picture of a whale as the top layer by lassoing the whale and deleting the background and made the opacity about 46% after which I compressed and saved the picture.
