Dear Professor,
I hope all is well with you. The reason I am contacting you is because I am part of a food drive called Candy For Sandy. From this drive, we are trying to receive donations of candy for the kids who lost their homes from the hurricane and were unable to trick or treat during halloween. I was wondering if you would be able to make a general announcement about this drive the next time we meet for class. Thank you very much.
Your esteemed student,
Michael Villone
