Real life Link Building Email that worked

I've been helping our friends at VolunteerLouisiana.gov develop inbound links, and I wanted to share with you the email that I sent to webmasters that is working to build traffic and links to their site:

Subject:

Developing a partnership to help New Orleans rebuild

Body:

Dear ,

I am writing to you on behalf of the Louisiana Association of Volunteer Centers and the Louisiana Office of the Lt. Governor. Both of these groups support www.VolunteerLouisiana.gov and need more volunteers to sign up at the site to help with the long term recovery work that is being conducted by nonprofits that are using the system.

Would you be willing to place a link to their website www.VolunteerLouisiana.gov on your site encouraging people to sign up to volunteer?

If you use volunteers for your nonprofit, you can also get a free account to manage those volunteers by selecting "Create An Account" on their site.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and help in working together to rebuild New Orleans.

Katherine
