Humorist Polly Frost offers some mischievous--and yes, fictional--examples of the art of the desperate solicitation letter. Such as:
As a Founding Member of the West Broadway Group, I'm reaching out to remind you about your annual donation which did not yet arrive this year.
The West Broadway Group knows that you've been transformed by the way we always challenge the traditional director/actor relationship, and by our never-ending commitment to the ensemble.
That's why I'm proud to announce that the West Broadway Group --in a provocative gesture responding to the unprecedented economic climate -- is presenting a solo show for the first time in its thirty-year history. Instead of multiple video screens and sonic feedback blasting apart traditional theater space , "Slow/Dissolve" will feature me at home in my SoHo loft.
Oh wait, I think I actually got that one in today's mail.

Thanks for pointing it out. It's a very funny piece. I can see it being turned into a great little one-act stage comedy!
