Dear ______________________,

Welcome to our Book Exchange!  Send ONE book to the child listed on #1 below.  Then, send TWO copies of this letter (one filled out and one blank) to SIX friends.  Move my child’s name to the #1 spot and list your child’s name as #2 on your letter.  This is not a chain letter, this is only for fun.

If you cannot complete this in one week (give or take a day) please notify me as it isn’t fair to the children who have participated and are waiting for their own special books to arrive.  A manila envelope will work well to mail the book (and you can save on postage by requesting “media mail” service).  Another idea is to order directly from a website like Amazon.com; saving you a trip to the post office.  Soon there after, your child will receive SIX books!  What a deal right?  6 books for only giving 1!  

Be sure to include your child’s name and address.  Seldom does anyone drop out because as you know, children love to get mail.  You should receive your first book in about two weeks if you get your letters out right away.

If you cannot send a book please let me know as soon as possible.
