Dear Sir / Madam ,

I read in last week’s edition of the White Horse News that you are keen to reward local people who have made significant contributions to the community . I would like to put my mother , Mrs . Gillian Summerton , forward for this reward .

My mother is a schoolteacher , and has done much to enrich the lives of the young people in her care . In her free time , she continues to give up her time to help people . She runs a ladies’ choir which is a superb opportunity for local women to get together and enjoy themselves . Moreover , the choir performs free of charge at charity events , and consequently my mother has been fundamental in both raising large sums of money and bringing pleasure to people .

I know that my mother does not need a financial reward for her services to the community , as it gives her a lot of pleasure . However , I’m sure that she would appreciate formal recognition for her work , perhaps in the form of a donation to her preferred charity , the Red Cross .

Thank you for your attention ,
