The example
Thank-you to donors: Thank-you
Numbered notes in the margin explain each choice.
To everyone who gave or shared1: thank you.
The thank-you
Note 1: Sharing is thanked as much as giving. Many campaigns reach their goal through people who could only share.
On 3 December we reached our goal. Six months of rent are paid2, Samir is working again with his own tools, and Rawan is following her nursing course on a laptop instead of a shared phone3.
What it made possible
Note 2: Gratitude made concrete: each result matches a line of the original breakdown.
Note 3: A small before and after that donors will remember.
Huda asked me to pass on her words: “May God reward you all. We sleep well again.”4
In the family’s words
Note 4: The blessing is Huda’s own, quoted exactly. Never invent words or feelings for the family.
I will post a final update with all the receipts on 20 December5.
What happens next
Note 5: Promising the final accounts, with a date, keeps the campaign trustworthy to the end.
With gratitude,
Mariam

Common mistakes and how to fix them
Lines like these turn up in many drafts by Arabic speakers. Each fix keeps the meaning and changes only the English.
We can never thank you enough, words cannot express our gratitude, you are angels.
To everyone who gave or shared: thank you.
Thanks to you the family is now happy and their problems are solved.
Six months of rent are paid, Samir is working again with his own tools, and Rawan is following her nursing course on a laptop.
The family says they love you and will pray for you every day.
Huda asked me to pass on her words: “May God reward you all. We sleep well again.”
Questions people ask
When should I thank donors?
Twice: a short thank-you when the goal is reached or the campaign closes, and again in the final update with the receipts. Large or repeated donors may also deserve a personal message.
Is it fine to include a blessing such as “May God reward you”?
Yes, especially in the family’s own words, as here. Many donors appreciate it. Keep it short and sincere.
Should I thank donors by name?
Only with their permission. Many give anonymously. A general thank-you, with private messages for those you know, respects everyone.
Every writer in this library is fictional, and so is every detail about them. Universities and companies appear only as places someone applies to; the professors, papers and facts mentioned around them are invented for teaching. Use the examples to learn the moves, never as text to copy: committees notice, and your own facts are stronger.
