The following sample thank you letter and receipt are those that are utilized by SLA Headquarters, and may be used by all Association units in acknowledging contributions. US Association units must follow IRS guidelines (in the Tax and Legal Implications section above) in acknowledging contributions, and non-US Association units should follow guidelines in the country of origin of contributions, at the unit's discretion.
