You are the Project Assistant in the Public Relations Department of Patagonia, a company located in Ventura. The Director of Public Relations wants to continue Patagonia's commitment to philanthropy, community relations, and employee volunteerism by considering different programs for employees to support.

You recently heard about Northwestern Guide Dogs, a program in which volunteers raise puppies for $14$ to $18$ months for guide dog training. You suggest the program at a department meeting and the director agrees to let you explore how the program could be an excellent outreach opportunity for the company$$s employees and how they could give back to the community in their role as puppy raisers.

To pursue the idea, you write a letter to the guide dogs program to request information about the program and how Patagonia could sponsor the program. You decide to include a list of questions about the program in your letter to make sure the response provides all the information Patagonia needs to make a decision. Some of the questions raised at the department meeting were about time commitment, costs, timelines, and logistics$.$ You will include these types of questions in your letter, as well as other questions you want answered about the program.

Your Task

Write a direct request letter to Helen Adams, Northwestern Guide Dogs, $512$ Maynard Alley South, Seattle, WA $98104.$ In the letter, ask $5-7$ questions about the program that will help Patagonia to make a decision. Include an end date for response and a reason.

The letter must be in block style letter format and following the writing plan for a "Direct Request Message".
