Dear [Recipient Name]:

I am researching my family history, and I hope you can help me locate a document regarding one of my ancestors.
I believe Birgit Seidl was my great-great-grandmother, and I have information that she was christened at Main Street Church in Lehigh, Pennsylvania, on April 23, 1820. If your church maintains records from the early 1800s, I would like to have copies of any documents that pertain to Birgit.
I have enclosed a self-addressed, stamped envelope for your reply along with a small donation to your church. I appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Sincerely,
User
Enclosure
