Your Name

Dear (Your Name) (Graduation Year),

I asked our manager of alumni records to assemble your Alumni Data by cross-referencing the most recent information in your Sul Ross State University file. In conjunction with the verification of Alumni Data, we are also creating a treasured resource that will not only contain listings for thousands of fellow alumni but will also give you a chance to share your stories, pictures and life experiences with friends and former classmates.

But now I need your help.

Please take 30 seconds to look over the information currently reflected in your streamlined Data Verification Form. (This convenient online form is fully-encrypted using state-of-the-art technology to protect your personal information.)

Sul Ross State University analyzed the records of more than 11,000 alumni to separate outdated contact and alumni information from the most current data in our files.

Now I need your confirmation of the information listed in this file.

Please review your online Verification Form in the next 10 days.

Sincerely,

Signature by Saul Garza

Director of Alumni Relations
Sul Ross State University

Thank you in advance for your assistance in this important matter.
