Dear Name,

Sleigh bells, snow flakes, carols, evergreens, holiday cheer and time spent with family. No wonder we
call this “the most wonderful time of the year”! With the holidays approaching and the season of gift
giving upon us, I hope you will consider a gift to Murray State University.

Your gift will impact our students by directly supporting the areas of greatest need throughout the
campus. Some of the areas include student scholarships, computer lab upgrades, classroom equipment
and the preparation of students for the workforce through career counseling.

For your convenience a pledge card is enclosed. You can make a donation directly online at
www.murraystate.edu/ialu/onlinegiving. Don’t forget—you can double or even triple your gift to
Murray State if the company you work for matches their employees’ charitable giving. Check with
your personnel office for more information.

Don’t let this season of joy and giving pass without remembering the mission of Murray State. Your
gift will change lives. Happy Holidays from Murray State University and the Office of Development!

Sincerely,

Jim Napier
Assistant Director of Annual Giving

P.S. If your gift is received by December 31st, you may be eligible for a significant 2005 tax-
deduction. Thank your for your generosity!
