Dear [Name],
Thank you so
much for [coming out today or allowing me to appear on your show/in your
publication] to tell my story about dealing with Prader-Willi syndrome! It was
a pleasure meeting you [and your staff] and I'm looking forward to seeing the
finished product!
[If needed:
Per your request, [enclosed or attached] please find….]. I hope this information
plus our interview provided you everything you need to put together an
informative, educational piece on PWS! If not, please do not hesitate to
contact me for anything else you may need.
Again, it is
my hope that the coverage you provide will create life-saving awareness and an
interest in the community to help find a cure to this complex syndrome. Current
estimations make it clear that there are many people who have PWS and do not
know it. If we reach just one of those individuals and generate any funds, then
we will have made a difference (tax deductible donations can be made to
Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (USA), the only national membership
organization that supports individuals with and affected by PWS through every
stage of life and that supports critical research—www.pwsausa.org).
Also, as you
and I have already discussed, I am trusting that you will be able to incorporate
a more positive and hopeful spin on this syndrome versus some of your
competitors and fellow producers. It would be a wonderful accomplishment to
bring a sense of hope to those who may be struggling with this issue as opposed
to a discouraging perspective that may never happen. We want all who are dealing
with PWS to know they are not alone. Granted, you have a job to do, and I'm
certain this can be done while still accomplishing these goals and keeping the
children’s dignity intact.
[Name], if you
have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me at [phone number and
email address]. On behalf all families affected by PWS, thank you, again, for
your interest in our children’s lives. It is greatly appreciated!
Best regards,
[Name]
[Encl.]
