Dear Mr. Anselmo,

I am delighted that you have recently completed the bargain-sale of development rights on your land in Macon County; I want to express my appreciation for this important gift to the future of western North Carolina. I know this decision required many hours of careful consideration on your part. Thank you for taking the important step.

In appreciation, I want to welcome you as an honorary lifetime member of The Land Trust for the Little Tennessee. You will receive our publications as well as a standing invitation to attend our events, many of them located on conserved properties in western North Carolina.

Please retain this letter as our acknowledgement of your donation of the bargain sale of property located at the confluence of Cowee Creek and the Little Tennessee did not provide you with any goods, services, in exchange for your bargain sale.

Again, please accept my personal thanks. Your example will help inspire many others who also care about the future of their land and our state.

Sincerely,

Sharon Taylor
Land Protection Coordinator
