I am writing you to ask for your help and also to give you the opportunity to be part of this great cause. Some of you may already be aware or know about this event already, Approximately 7800 personnel are currently on active duty in the military over seas, with over 2500 of those deployed outside Canada and its territories along with. We want to take the opportunity to say THANK YOU to all of those soldiers deployed this Thanksgiving (and past ones) with Thank You letters. But we need your help!
The goal is to collect 3000 letters – enough for each member of the Canadian Military currently stationed outside of the country to receive one.
Letter Format
Each letter should be heartfelt, handwritten, original, and free of any political statements. The purpose of the letter is to express thanks to the military personnel serving the United States. We reserve the right to eliminate those messages that are political in nature and that do not reflect a positive message in the spirit of Thanksgiving. Those letters will be destroyed.
All letters must be on 8.5 X 11 paper or smaller. Do not use glue, tape, staples, cardboard, glitter or otherwise attach anything to the paper. Decorate using crayons, pencil, etc. Use both side if you like, but use one page per letter only. Do not send cards or photographs. Feel free to include your mailing and email address, if you like and you may get a response. Individual letters should not be sealed in envelopes.
Do not send anything except letters. We cannot accept donations of any kind, and they should not be included or attached to letters.
Submission Guidelines
Please review the guidelines below to submit your letters:
Every individual letter is important, but for organizational purposes, please try to submit letters in bulk whenever possible. Work with your school, church, sorority/fraternity, office, neighborhood, etc. and send all letters bundled as directed below.
Letters should be bundled in groups of 50, 100, or 250 and held together in with two rubber bands, one wrapped lengthwise and the other widthwise. This will help tremendously with sorting. The top page in the bundle should indicate clearly how many letters are included. Do not bundle letters unless they are in groups of 50, 100, or 250. If you have a partial bundle of less than 50 letters, fasten them together with a paperclip. The top page in the group should clearly indicate how many letters are included. If you are submitting 10 or fewer letters, the letters can be folded to fit into a standard business-size envelope.
THE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, OCTOBER 26TH!!!
All letters MUST be received by this day. Letters received after that deadline may not be sent to the military and will not be returned.
