E-mail to the charity

I decided to e-mail the charity CRY, explaining what my EPQ topic is and what I hope to achieve at the end of the project. Throughout the e-mail, I have explained why the charity is close to myself and my family. In their response I hope that they explain what factors they look for within an awareness video and medical notes around the heart conditions allowing me to include correct facts and not any misleading information. 

Below I have attached the E-mail which i sent the charity:

To whom it may concern,

I am a student at Tupton Hall School who is beginning the EPQ (Extended Project Qualification).

My idea for the topic is to create an awareness/promotional video for your charity, CRY or an informative video about the condition. I do have some previous experience with filming and editing through my Media Studies A-level. The charity Cardiac Risk in the Young is something that is very close to myself following the sudden death of my cousin from the genetic heart condition your charity raises awareness of. My family and I have taken part in many fundraising and awareness raising events such as many screening events (raising nearly £69,000) and I hope that by creating this video I will raise awareness to more people my age around the risks underlying the heart condition.

In order for myself to effectively create an awareness video I was hoping that by getting in contact with you, you may be able to tell me which aspects you look for within a video to ensure that it is accurate without being alarming and can represent the condition in a way which does the topic justice. Alternatively, I would like to discuss with you the finer medical details around the condition to ensure that I do not misrepresent the condition.

If you could forward this email to the relevant person who may be able to help or collaborate with this project, I would be most grateful. I look forward to hearing from you

Yours sincerely
