Band 9: Your company is holding a charity fundraising gala and you wish to invite a prominent local business owner to attend. Write a letter to the business owner inviting them to the gala. You should include details about: - The charity your company is supporting and why their work is important - When and where the gala will be held and what the program will be - How their attendance and potential donation would help make a difference.

Dear Mr. Ahmedov,

I am writing on behalf of Bright Future Enterprises to invite you to our annual charity fundraising gala, which this year will support Hope for Children, a local non-profit organisation devoted to providing education and medical care for underprivileged children. Their work has transformed the lives of many young people in our community, ensuring that children from disadvantaged backgrounds are not denied the chance to grow, learn, and succeed.

The gala will take place on Saturday, 12 October 2025, at 7:00 p.m. in the Grand Atyrau Hotel Ballroom. The evening’s programme will begin with a welcome reception, followed by a formal dinner, live music, and a keynote address by the founder of Hope for Children. In addition, a charity auction featuring artworks, travel packages, and locally crafted goods will be held, with all proceeds directly benefiting the organisation.

Your presence at this event would be a tremendous honour. As one of the most respected business leaders in our city, your support would not only inspire others to contribute but would also make a tangible difference to the lives of countless children. A donation from you, whether through direct contribution or participation in the auction, would help provide school materials, healthcare access, and opportunities that these children might otherwise never have.

We sincerely hope you will be able to join us on this meaningful evening. Kindly confirm your attendance at your earliest convenience.

Yours sincerely,

Nuray Tleukabyl

Event Coordinator
