Subject: gift acknowledgement letters
From: Theresa Preuit <PREUIT_T_at_Mercer.edu>

Hi,

I am new to the area of collection development and looking forward to 
my new responsibilities.  I inherited a large backlog of gifts and 
have been asked to begin acknowledging and then evaluating these for 
our collections.

I found the sample letters used in years past to be a bit lacking, so 
I decided to ask if anyone would be willing to share with me.  I'm 
also receptive to any advice you would offer a new colleague.  While I 
have over 20 years of academic library experience and have served as a 
liaison with academic departments, this is still new and often 
overwhelming for me.

thanks!
Theresa
