Dear xxxxxx,

Thank you for your generous contribution of $25.00.

Your gift will help me get my message out to the people of Minnesota,
not to mention help pay our Internet bills so we can send you e-mails
like this one.

And next time you see me on the trail, be sure to let me know you've
helped out so I can thank you in person.

Thanks once again,

Al Franken
