Sample General Holiday Letters
A letter announcing a food drive and requesting donations from neighbors and friends . . . a letter from a business alerting customers to the holiday closing schedule . . . a letter inviting classical music fans to a holiday concert . . . a letter calling fellow worshipers to a service . . . and a letter announcing an after-holiday clearance sale . . . are all examples of a general holiday letter.
A general holiday letter is addressed to acquaintances, fellow members, employees, neighbors, donors, customers, other businesses and the like. Of course, it is almost always tied in with a specific holiday.
You might write a general holiday letter merely as a courtesy or to encourage some sort of action from the recipient for the benefit of your business, event, cause, neighborhood . . . .
No matter what the reason, a holiday letter must be authentic if it hopes to stand out. If you are seeking some sort of response from the recipient, it is all the more important that your holiday letter also be persuasive. Remember, your holiday letter won't be the only one that the recipient will find in their mailbox.
Write from the heart. Let your words address the recipient's emotions regardless of whether you are writing them as a courtesy or want them to take some sort of action.
