  2. The date you want on your letter.
  3. Not used in this example, this is a text block you can customize with your own text, fonts, and colors.
  4. Salutation, this comes from your data file, and if Salutation is missing, Dear Friend will be substituted automatically.
  5. This is the heart of the package, your letter. Be clear and tell the story of how your donors can participate in the good work you do.
  6. Not used in this example, this is the signature image. For one-page letters, use this signature to let your donors know who this is coming from.
  7. Update this letter footer with your phone number, address, website, or whatever you'd like to say. The URL is auto-populated from your Organization details in your profile.
  8. Not visible here, the bottom 3.5 inches of this package is the response ticket. It will be perforated so your donor can return this ticket with their gift.
  9. This red headline bar is part of the Christmas design.
  10. Headline text you can customize with your own text, fonts, and colors..
  11. Participation text you can customize for your specific needs.
  12. This is the ask array. It is data driven and you can find the documentation for this here (opens in a new tab). It is variable by donor so you can ask in the right giving range for each person.
  13. More text you can customize - in this case it details what the donations will be used for.
  14. Giving instructions. Your Organization name is drawn from your profile, and you can edit this to suite your needs.
  15. This is a large image block, approximately 1.6 inches (h) x 2.0 inches (w). You could replace this with a compelling photo, a goal chart, or anything else your imagination can dream up.
  16. Codes that may help you as you process your gifts. If you have a scanner that automates gift processing, this line would typically include the donors account ID and also an identifier for this mailing. These can be driven from your data file. You can delete this text if you don't need it, or add a thank-you to the bottom of the response ticket.
  17. Replace this image with your logo.
  18. Organization address. This information is pulled from the Organization details, or you can supply whatever text you want in this location.
