Hello, I am writing on behalf of the World Vision Organization in response to the one you sent across last month for donation. Let me start by saying thank you for inviting us to sponsor the back-to-school program, which is happening in due time. We agree as community members that this is an excellent course aiming to help the less privileged children get an education and uplift their lives while uplifting the community. I appreciate that your team is putting the effort to provide career breakthroughs for the young generation, and I pray that this goes well for you and the ultimate beneficiaries. Unfortunately, I am sorry to inform you that our organization will not be able to support this fruitful program.
