Dear [recipient's name]:

Welcome to Joan Brigham, who joins Springfield's city council on Monday, December 2 after being elected in the city's recent election. Joan has been an active member of the Springfield community for many years, having owned numerous small businesses and volunteering in many valuable civic activities.

As mayor of Springfield, I am always thrilled to work with council members who have the stellar background that Joan has. Please join me in welcoming Joan, and I know we all look forward to working with her to make our city even better than ever.
