Dear [Name],

I am writing to you on behalf of our local advocacy group for music education. We are a group of local professionals who have come together as a part of a widespread effort, spearheaded by MENC: The National Association for Music Education, to inform decision makers and the public of the importance of a complete education for all of our children.

We would like to present our case for a well-rounded, quality education at one of your group's upocming meetings. Our speaker will come prepared to talk about those aspects of music education that are of importance to our community's school system. You may wish to consider one of the following topics, or you may want to suggest one of your own:

[List examples of three topics.]

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at [your number] between [begin time] and [end time]. I would be happy to discuss our campaign with you and to make arrangements for a qualified speaker.

Sincerely,
Your name
