With all my gratitude

7th September, 2009.
Dear Friends,

I can't begin to express what your gift means to me and my other colleagues. This is just a quick note, but it comes from my heart to yours as I head out for my lectures.

The money is most definitely helpful and will go to extremely good use, there's no doubt about that. Thank you for your very kind gift, which I received on the 1st of September, 2009. Your generosity will make an immediate difference in my life and in the lives of my other colleagues.

For one thing, I am going to use your gift for the purpose for which it was meant so it can be of help to me and others. Your generosity is going to help me buy the books relevant to this semester’s courses taken and improve my standard of living as well. Good nutrition, as you know, is so vital in fighting off the diseases and infections that are so prevalent on our campus.

This time has been difficult for me especially at the early part of the semester when school just re-opened, but knowing I have the support of people like you certainly helps.

But more than the monetary value, I so greatly appreciate the thought behind the gift. A financial constraint is a burden but your actions have really lightened the load. For that especially, I thank you.

Please know I won't forget your kind gesture. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. Thanks again for your kindness.

Sincerely,
Bright Ofori
