Owing to the fact that firms today are always expanding and keen to help each other out and build better relations, Solicitation letters are commonplace today. Solicitation letters are either sent out to invite new customer or to ask an individual or an organization for funds. Christmas solicitation letters are solicitation letters sent out during Christmas and are used to attract customers to an event or raise funds for any social purpose.
Solicitation letters are always compact, formal and to-the-point. The reason for such short letter is because they are mostly used in a business context, and these days nobody has time to read a letter that comes across as too needy or desperate for cash. A solicitation letter generally has somber and respectful tone. Although one may digress from the set standard slightly depending on the relation between the firms, for a more personalized letter. The letter usually contains an invitation for the event and information regarding the same.

Respected Sir,
A Cloud to Stand On has been looking after the emotional and physical needs of orphans for over past few years. We have been quite functional in providing opportunities for children to thrive, despite the lack of resources and opportunities they have. The success that we have achieved can only be judged from the pretty smile that we are greeted with from these children each and every day.
With the holiday season knocking on the door, the expectations in these young hearts are rising by leaps and bound. For most of the kids under our care, Christmas never meant much. They never had any family to celebrate with or a toy to look forward. Our staff strives all year around to provide them with support in the form of entertainment, to boost their morale and develop them mentally. However, even as Christmas arrives, we have our hands full with managing the core necessities of these children and thus would like some assistance on this front.
We are in need of your help. We are aware of the fact that Royal Kart Firm is actively involved in community welfare work. As we are an openly funded organization, we would like to ask for some assistance as well. We have been collecting Christmas donations regarding clothes, toys, food and cash for over a month now and somewhat have reached our target. Your help can provide us with a significant boost to make these orphans under our care happy and assist them to find the genuine spirit of Christmas.
We look forward to hearing from you and anticipate that is will be the beginning of a long lasting relationship.
Thank you and Merry Christmas.
Sincerely,
Paul Headley,
A Cloud to Stand On.
