In the body of the letter ensure you name your charity, what the donation will be used for, the benefits your charity offers to the local community and your contact information. Read through the remaining directions and information.

• Parts of a Business Letter
• Sample Letters

NOTE: No templates are to be used for this assignment

• The content (body) of the letter is two paragraphs. The second paragraph would include contact information.

• No templates can be used for this assignment. You need to start from a blank word document and complete the letter without the use of a template.

• Include sender's address, date, inside address (is the address for the person to whom you are sending the letter and is right before the salutation - see the links above), salutation, body of the letter, and signature block.

• Include a bulleted or numbered list of at least three items in the body of the letter. For instance, this could be for how the donation will be used, benefits of your charity, or ideas for an event.

• Change the font of the signature in the signature block of the letter so that it is a different font than that used in the rest of the letter.

• Use at least two other font features like font size, bold, or underline in the letter. For instance, you might italicize the signature or contact information, change the font size of the bulleted list, underline the phone number, bold the name of the charity, etc.

Computer Concepts and Office Applications - Part 3 Assignment

Computer Information and Screenshot

Complete and submit both parts of this assignment:

Part A - Computer Information

In this assignment, you will investigate and learn more about your own computer. Review the presentation W3 Lecture 2 as it will show you how to find the information on your computer. Review the lectures for Part 3 as they will show you how to find the information on your computer.

• What type of device(s) are you using for class? For example: desktop computer, laptop, tablet, 2 in 1(laptop and tablet), smartphone etc.

• What is your operating system?

• How much system memory do you have (RAM)?

• How fast is your CPU?

• Do you have a 32-bit or 64-bit machine? A CPU can process 32 bits of information or 64 bits of information at a time (there are 8 bits in a byte). When you download software from the internet, sometimes there will be one link for a computer that has a 32-bit CPU and another link if it has 64-bit CPU. That is why it is good to know this.

• What is the size of your hard drive?

Answer the questions and take a screenshot of the system properties area in which you would have found the answers to questions 2-5.
