Tips for Writing Letters
- Many companies and organizations will send you a free pin(s) by simply writing them a letter.
- Get your parents or Pathfinder staff to help you find the names and addresses for sports
associations or federations, National Olympics Committees, and companies who sponsor events like the Olympics or other sporting events. Many will send you a free pin if you write and ask.
- You can go to the Olympics web site and see who the sponsor companies are.
- The more letters you send, the more free pins you are likely to receive. One girl wrote to 77 companies, and 55 of them sent her over 250 pins!
- Write your letter by hand and send it the old-fashioned way, in a stamped envelope.
- Tell the company how old you are, what you like to do, what you like to collect, and that you would love to have one of their pins.
- Always offer to pay for the pin. Most companies will not ask you to pay but will send you a pin for free.
- If you are writing to other countries, make the letter simple and try to say something nice about
their country. It helps you learn about other countries too.
- If you are writing to other countries, be sure to use the proper amount of postage. (Check wit the Post Office.)
- If you ask nicely, the pins will start coming. Then it's so much fun to get mail!
- Always be sure to write a thank you note if you get a free pin.
