Good morning, Paul,
Thank you for asking NCL to do this. VALUEUSA and Marty have indeed been great contributors to the field over the years, and I would be happy to write the letter you have requested. I do need to run the idea by the NCL Board first, though. I'll do that today and get back to you as soon as I have a response.
I'm delighted to know that you and David have been supporting Marty and Rev Hendricks. Thank you for doing that.

Greetings, Deborah,
Iâm writing to ask whether you â as representative of NCL â would be willing to write a letter of support for VALUEUSA. Â In this past year, David Rosen and I have been working with Marty Finsterbusch and VALUEUSA President, Reverend David Hendricks, to build VALUEUSAâs capacities. This has included strengthening of the organizationâs board, strategic planning, upgrading the organizationâs website, and fundraising. Â
Weâve now prepared an application for the Library of Congressâ Rubinstein Literacy Award (in the American Prize category:  http://www.read.gov/literacyawards/apply.html ). We think it would be very helpful if NCL could provide a support letter that describes VALUEUSAâs contributions to our field and how VALUEUSA (and Marty) have worked with NCL.  I can provide you with more suggestions for what you might include in the letter and about the content of the application we are submitting.Â
The deadline for submitting the application is March 5th, so it would be necessary for you to get a letter to me by March 4th, so I can include it in the submission.Â
If for any reason you are not able to do this, I understand. Â But please let me know ASAP whether you are able to do so.
Thank you for your consideration and for your leadership.Â
