Sample Topic: Bequests (Writing a Will) Our approach to this topic proves that humor communicates! Grab your prospects attention and get them to take a serious look at estate planning and writing a will with an ironic twist that sets you and your organization apart for better results! Page 6 Tagline: No prospect can ignore this outrageous statement! That s why it will work so well to pique their interest and compel them to find out more. Hyperlinks directly to your Grabber Page. Postcard: Maintains the humorous tone but also adds the warning note that if you have no will, the government will handle your estate with no reference to your wishes regarding your estate and your loved ones Or support for your favorite charities. This powerful combination secures their interest and helps guide readers to you and/or your Grabber Page for more information. Grabber Page Text: One of our most popular pieces, this content again leverages irony to get inside your prospect s head and plant the clear and compelling point that dying without a will means their wishes will not be addressed in the disposition of the estate. A natural lead-in for suggesting the supporter do their estate planning now, draw up a will, and ensure your non-profit is included in it. Guides them to follow up with you to find out more.
E-Broadcast Taglines (hyperlink to grabber page) Page 7 Two Choices: You Don t Have a Will? No Problem. Really. Don t Worry! You Don t Need a Will. The Government Will Take Care of it For You. Postcard Copy (can also be used as an e-broadcast) Headline for Address Side (Where the Stamp Goes): Where there s a will, there s a way. Where there s no will, you have no say. Body Copy on Other Side of Postcard: No Will? No Problem. Really. The Government will take care of your estate. In a perfectly satisfactory manner. Sure it will. As long as you don t mind the court making all the decisions even though it doesn t know who you are, what is important to you, or what you believe in. And as long as you don t mind all those estate tax dollars going to some politician s pet project instead of to the non-profit you believe in whose mission you want to support. Don t believe it?

Grabber Page Copy (landing page on your website) Page 8 Don t Worry. You Don t Need a Will. The Government Will Take Care of it for You. We ve come up with a great way you can get the government to help you and your family in ways you never imagined. Plus, the government will love you for it! How? Simply by making happy and helpful Uncle Sam and his IRS your executor and heir! Just follow these four easy steps: 1. Don t write your will. Without a will the court will decide how to disburse your assets. (Of course, the court doesn t know you have stepchildren you re fond of, for example, or that you want to remember a few of your favorite charities in your will and the court doesn t care.) 2. Don t write your will. Without a will the court will select someone to handle your estate during probate. (Even if you would have selected a close friend to have this responsibility, the court won t know about that and won t care.) 3. Don t write your will. If you have minor children for whom guardianship is important, guess what, without a will the court will pick the guardian for you. (Wouldn t you rather make that decision?) 4. Don t write your will. The estate tax dollars that the government collects will be used for, well, anything the government chooses. (Imagine what your favorite charities could do with that money.) Have we made our point? Wait, we almost forgot: Without a will, your grieving loved ones will face the added responsibility of trying to untangle your affairs and of guessing what decisions you might have intended to make because without a will, they ll have to guess. Clearly, there are important reasons you should write your will. We at [your non-profit] urge you not to put off this minor inconvenience. We ve often heard that people get a little nervous about meeting with an attorney. But an attorney specializing in wills and estate planning is the right person to engage to accomplish your goals both for yourself and your loved ones. And that peace of mind will be well worth every effort you make getting your will done. [Your non-profit] would be glad to send you further information on writing a will and, if you like, on ways you can include us and your other favorite charities in your plans, as well.
Writing a will is too important to delay. Your planned gift to [your non-profit] will help you achieve your financial goals and benefit your loved ones while supporting our organization at the same time.
