It’s never easy to say goodbye to someone who has been a part of our lives.  When that person is gone, there’s a hole where (he or she) used to be in your life. That’s what many of us are feeling today.

Some of you knew ______ (name) better than others, but you’re here because (he or she) had an impact on your life, and you want to honor that.  And because (he or she) did affect you in some way, it’s not going to be easy to say goodbye.

At such a difficult time, it’s important to remember the good memories we all have of _______ (name).  By holding on to those memories, we can focus on the good times we had together, and help each other find comfort in this difficult time.

Some of you may remember when _______ (name) was _______ (share a short story about the person such as a childhood memory; be sure to keep it positive).  Or perhaps others of you recall _______ (share another positive story from the person\’s life).

Even as a child, _______ (name) made a difference in people’s lives.  (Share a brief story about the person’s childhood that shows that he or she had an impact on someone, even in a small way.  Be sure to keep it positive.)

_______ (name) was always _______ (list a positive quality about the person such as an honest person, a good listener, a great cook, et cetera).  (He or She) always _______ (explain how that positive characteristic affected the person’s life, such as he or she had the best green bean casserole at Thanksgiving).  (He or she) was also _______ (list another positive quality about the person), which always came through when _______ (share how others could see this quality in the person).

And more than anything else, _______ (name) was _______ (name another positive quality that really defined who the person was, such as faithful, generous, a community volunteer, et cetera).  I remember _______ (share a story about the person that expresses that quality, such as church involvement, donating time and money to charities, et cetera).

It’s hard to say goodbye to someone who had a big impact on our lives.  It’s always hard to lose someone you know, to let go of (him or her), and move on.  But if we keep those good memories in our hearts and minds, we can find comfort, and _______ (name) will always be with us.

Just by being here, you’re showing that _______ (name) had an impact on you. And that’s a great comfort to me to know that (he or she) touched other people’s lives in the same way (he or she) touched mine.  And that’s how I’ll always remember _______ (name).

Testimonial for an inspiring teacher

Vicki Robin entered my life at exactly the right time. After decades of striving for achievement and accumulation, I was searching for more meaning. Vicki taught me that the key to “more” is actually ”less”. Doing less, consuming less, worrying less. Finding the quiet place that represents “enough” for me. What I love about Vicki is not only does she walk her talk, she’s also realistic about the challenge of change. She recommends small steps that feel right for you. She won’t ask you to completely transform your life, although you may just find that you do!

Internet consultant Daniel Watrous recommends that you ask customers for their input on things like a logo design. Here’s his suggested writing template:

SUBJECT: We need your help!

Hi,

This might sound a bit rushed, but we’re in over our heads (again). We could just slog through this one on our own, but we think you might be uniquely qualified to help us solve our problem. Could you do us a small favor?

You see, while we’ve been working hard to make great content for [sitename], the site ‘logo’ (if you even call it that) has gone a bit, ummm, stale. We thought it looked great when we started the site, but sooooo much has happened.

We’ve spent hours (days, weeks and months really) on projects and tutorials and dozens of our readers have contributed wonderful articles too. We’ve been through site crashes and technology foibles. We’ve changed things a few times and just can’t seem to find the right look.

But then we realized that you are our ‘look’. That’s why we think you’re the best person to help us right now.

What we want to find is some type of ‘logo’, for lack of a better word. Something that would represent the lives of the women behind our blog and the values we all represent.

The bad news is that our attempts so far just haven’t produced the results we hoped for. In fact, you can see them here:

[linktodesigncontest]

So how can you help? There are a few ways (and you don’t even have to be a designer).

The most simple way to help us out would be to [reply to this email/post a comment at link] telling us what you think [sitename] has become and what it means to you. Just open up and let us know why you follow our blog and what it has done for you.

If you feel like you have an eye for design you could go to our design contest above and vote on the submissions or even submit your own. Be as creative as you like, since we really are all about you. If you have the best design you’ll win the prize money too!

The last way that you can help us would be to forward this email to your family and friends that you think might have a good design idea for us.

[sitename] is really all about you. Thank you. We really can’t wait to hear what you think and incorporate that into who we become.

Sincerely,
[end email]

If you market your products or services through affiliate marketing (paying a commission to other people to send customers to your website), you should have an affiliate agreement. An affiliate agreement is a statement of terms and conditions that affiliates must agree to abide by. Some of the issues that you might want to cover in your agreement include:

1. affiliate commission amounts
2. when the affiliate will be paid
3. website restrictions
4. linking and tracking
5. ppc and coupon guidelines
6. affiliate termination procedures and reasons
7. return policies
8. maximum or minimum payout amounts
9. limits to your liability

How affiliate marketing works (source: Wikipedia)

Your affiliate agreement can be as formal or informal as you like. I’ve got some examples of both types below.

The gender transition leader, the HR person who is placed in charge of a gender transition, should solicit a short letter from management expressing management support. Most likely, management is going to ask HR to draft the letter, since they expect that HR knows what to say more than they do. Of course, there is no reason why HR should be an expert on the subject, but that’s what managers often do. What should such a letter say?

You’ve seen an advertisement for your dream job and you know that you’d be perfect for it. Now you just have to get an interview. Write a great cover letter in professional business letter format and your chances of getting that interview will increase dramatically.

First, take the time to find out exactly who will be reading your cover letter. If the information is not apparent from the job advertisement, phone or email to ask who is in charge of hiring. Then address your correspondence accordingly. Whatever you do, make sure you spell the person’s name, position title and address correctly and find out if they are a Mr. Mrs. or Ms. Your attention to detail in these matters shows initiative and will impress your potential employer.

Employers are looking for specific things, so make it easy for them to pick you! In your cover letter, briefly highlight your relevant education, experience and personality traits as they relate to the job posting. Unless the advertisement specifically says “no phone calls”, phone the company and ask for a “Statement of Qualifications” or job description. These documents will give you extra information about what qualities are important to the company and you can then emphasize how you can meet those criteria.

Highlight relevant skills, awards, and degrees you want the employer to notice. In business letter format paragraphs are generally short, and use bullet points where possible. This helps the employer to notice the relevant information while skimming the cover letter.

Keep in mind that although cover letter samples or writing templates provide a useful start (especially to show you the proper business letter format), they are a starting point only. You must customize your cover letter to fit the specific job, and to allow your personality to come through. Any employer will sense a “canned” or copied letter that doesn’t address the specifics of their company.

Whether your start “from scratch” or use a cover letter writing template, be sure to present yourself in a professional and business-like manner in your letter.

I can’t stress enough how important presentation is when writing a business letter. Keep it simple, do not use colored paper or fancy fonts. One spelling mistake or grammatical error is enough to have your application rejected. For the best presentation, use a standard font like Times New Roman or Ariel in an 11 or 12 point size, with one inch margins. Proofread the old-fashioned way. Don’t rely on spell-check because typos have a way of getting past spell-check. One spelling mistake or grammatical error is enough to have your application rejected.

Read your cover letter aloud to yourself or someone else to help identify any awkward or unclear wording. Remember, you will look like a more professional candidate to your potential employer when your cover letter uses proper business letter wording and format.

In today’s competitive job market it is essential that you write a great cover letter that sells yourself, your skills and your desire to work for the company. Don’t be shy about telling the employer why you would be perfect for the job. After all, they are looking for the perfect candidate and that could very well be you. Good luck!
