Attached to this message, you’ll find a PDF file
named "join_us.pdf". First we need you to save it on your computer,
where you can find it later.
What we’d like you to do next is: Use that
attached file (join_us.pdf) you saved to help us recruit new members to
CLT.
We’d like you to write a personal
e-mail message and send it to ten of your taxpaying friends in
Massachusetts – a personal message from you.
– will get their
attention and more likely be read. Write your message to your
friends and family members in your own words.
Your personal endorsement of CLT will mean
much more to your friends and family members than this unsolicited
message from us "strangers" at CLT forwarded to them by you.
Also, a personal friend of yours is more likely to
open an attached file in a message from you than from a stranger.
I know I would be!
After you’ve composed your personal message to
friends and family, attach the PDF file to your message so they have a
copy to open and read, and print out if they choose, when they receive
your message.
Follow up with another message in a few days, or a
phone call. Ask if they received and read your initial message, if they
opened and read the attached file from CLT. Explain to them why it’s in
their interest to join CLT along with you.
Thanks so much. I believe this may be the only way to
keep CLT alive beyond spring. I hope you’ll not only renew your own
membership, if you haven’t already, but will help recruit more taxpayers
to our defense – and their own!
We four CLT staffers won’t go down without a fight.
But we can’t win, CLT can’t survive, without you at our side . .
. and a greater number of like-minded taxpayers.
