Dear Mr. Kline:

In two weeks our middle school will be hosting a basketball fundraiser. The event will help fund the new athletic field being built this summer. As you are a former student and member of the basketball team, I thought that you might be interested in participating. The event will have many different contests including free throwing and ball dribbling competitions. The current basketball team is hosting the event, and we hope that you will attend.

Sincerely,

Amelia Grady
