Good morning Mr. von Sneeze!

Please excuse me for writing to you out of the blue

But you see your name has come up in conversation so many times recently I feel compelled to write to you.

Let me explain.

Over the last few weeks I have been endeavouring to identify people of vision and integrity within the community who play a leadership role, or are a leadership model, in their business, social or community life.

And, frankly, on a number of occasions you have been described as such a person.

It is for this reason that I am writing to you. Knowing the regard in which people hold you. I feel that you may be interested learning about some of the work we are doing within the local community.

I would therefore like to extend an invitation to you to attend an informal cocktail party to meet some of my colleagues and hear what is happening. You will also have the opportunity to network with some other people, similar to yourself, who have been identified as significant contributors to the community.

Now I will be hosting this function in my capacity as President of Smithtown Rotary Club, the organisation that has been principally responsible for the activities you will learn about at the cocktail party. I must stress that this invitation does not place you under any obligation to be part of our Rotary activity although naturally we would welcome the interest of a person of your standing in our further activities.

The function will be held at (place) on (time/day/date). Please confirm that you will join us by phoning my secretary on xxxx xxxx.

I look forward to seeing you then.

Yours sincerely
