UNIT 3: COMMUNICATING IN AN EMERGENCY<br />

Sample business letter:<br />

Mr. John Burgess<br />

The Salvation Army<br />

Bismarck, ND 58501<br />

Dear Mr. Burgess:<br />

Job Aid 3.1<br />

Templates for Written <strong>Communication</strong>s<br />

July 3, 2001<br />

The tireless efforts and valuable resources your organization contributed to our<br />

community after the recent flood were remarkable. The speed with which you fed and provided<br />

shelter for the 75 people left homeless demonstrated the experience and preparation that marks<br />

all Salvation Army operations.<br />

There is no way to thank you enough for your support of Bismarck residents. However, I<br />

hope you will share my gratitude with your staff and volunteers. We appreciate every one of<br />

them.<br />

Again, thank you for your active partnership in Bismarck’s emergency management<br />

efforts.<br />

MS:gn<br />

Sincerely yours,<br />

Mary Siebert<br />

<strong>Emergency</strong> Manager<br />
