Dear [Receiver’s Name]:
Please find enclosed my [200 page manuscript] entitled [Good News Stories], that I would like you to consider for publication.
It is a compilation of 25 true stories from the past 50 years in which people facing harsh or critical circumstances come to a positive conclusion. I have written the stories for readers from nine to 15 years of age, but even adults have enjoyed reading them.
The manuscript is intended to give examples of how adversity has and can be overcome to inspire and give confidence to children. I have also included my personal story, anonymously, and the way I improved my life. It was this experience that inspired me to write the book in the first place.
I believe these stories will be useful and entertaining for children and respectfully request that you consider publishing them. If you have any questions, I can be reached at [Phone Number] or at [Email Address].
Thank you for considering my manuscript. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
[Signature of Sender]
[Printed Name of Sender]
