Dear All,



I've had a request from my team to put together a series of how to's

for Legacy Fundraising, in the event I am not here.  All very simple

apart from one they have requested which is:



'How to discuss a bequest'



Am I alone in feeling this is difficult to create as all discussion

will be very different? Or has anyone done anything similar for their

colleagues?



I would welcome you thoughts



Best wishes from Liverpool
