Dear Ms. Contact Person:
or Dear Sir or Madam:
or Dear Audubon Society:

Double  space [

I’m an eighth grader at LREI: The Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School. Our class is launching a social justice project focused on sustainability and we are reaching out to sustainability-minded organizations in NYC as volunteers.  A few students in our grade are very interested your organization and are hoping that members of our class could work with you in some capacity over the next few months.

[Brief statement here that explains why you are interested in this organization in particular.  Be crisp! Busy people often do not read long e-mails.]

We are available as apprentices, interns, helpers, or anything else, after school or on weekends. At the end of April, we will present workshops about what we’ve learned from this project to our entire Middle School.

If you are interested in having a few eager eighth graders that can help out, please respond as soon as possible.  If there is someone else that I should contact, please let me know and I will follow up with them.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
