Dear Charity to which I sent a donation,

Thank you for your considerate letter of appreciation. For future reference I see no need for you to waste either monetary resources or the resources of the Earth doing so, but it was thoughtful of you and I will understand if it helps most donators to continue donating. Also for future reference, you know what shows your appreciation even more than sending a thank-you card? Spelling my name right.

Love,

Zandperl

I don't mind thank you notes so much, but when a charity (especially one for protecting nature) mails me pleas for more donations every other week for a year, I cross them right off my list. It probably cost them more to do that than the amount I donated, and if they can't get the hint, I don't want them wasting any more of my money.

Email requests are annoying but at least they don't waste resources quite so badly.

I should make a resolution to contact them and at least try to convince them not to ask me for any more money in a non-electronic format. I'm lazy about stuff like that.
