Dear <Contact Name>,

I am writing to request a donation of <item desired> to support a community cleanup that I will be conducting on <date of cleanup>.

This cleanup carries on a tradition of annual, all-volunteer community cleanups of the Hudson River going back to Scenic Hudson's first Great River Sweep in 1998.

Although Scenic Hudson, the environmental group based in Poughkeepsie, New York, is no longer sponsoring any sweeps, volunteers like me are coordinating independent cleanups in our local communities.

The cleanup that I am coordinating will take place at <Cleanup Site> in the Town/City/Village of <Cleanup Municipality> on <Cleanup Date> at <Cleanup Time>.  Your donation of <item desired> will do much to improve our cleanup. 

Thank you in advance for your consideration and I look forward to hearing back from you.

Yours sincerely,
<Your name>
<Your contact information>
