a letter of thanks
Dear CHP,
I'd like to take this oppurtunity to let you know how much I appreciate the help and support your organization provided to me in my experience as a first- time home buyer. I attended a VHDA homeownership class [presented by] your organization, and I gained...so much... You educated me on the home buying process, counseled me when I had questions or concerns, advocated for funding on my behalf, and even attended my closing when I purchased my home. The support that your organization provided to me was phenomenal. I'm truly blessed and will be forever grateful for your guidance in helping me to realize my dream of owning a place to call my own . Thank you...for the services you provide to the citizens of our community.
Sincerely, Joan M. Lugo
