Jeff Brooks’ recent post at DonorPowerBlog is such a great reminder: when you’re writing fundraising letters, you need to write like a human being .
He offers a great real-life example of typical copy from a fundraising letter he received. He then points out:

And I love that he reminds us that “there’s nothing forcing you to write that way”!
