SUBJECT: LETF Funding Request

As you requested, attached you will find the 2005 budget for the Do The Right Thing
Program. I am respectfully requesting a donation from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund
in the amount of$124,955.
I truly appreciated the opportunity to meet with you recently to discuss the future of the
Do The Right Thing Program. I was thankful to hear first hand of your support of the
program and your commitment to continue sponsorship on behalf of the Miami Police
Department in spite of drastic reductions to LETF. Rest assured, program staff works
diligently to stretch the dollars and maximize your return on investment through positive
media and community exposure.
Additionally, the program is anticipating raising approximately 25 percent above this
year's LETF contribution from outside donors. Fortunately, the $30,000 plus (not
including $170,000 in in -kind donations) we receive in community support allows us to
continue normal operations in spite of cuts annually to our budget. We continue to work
hard on increasing this support to lesson the burden on the department.
'Thank you for your consideration of this request and
Right Thing and the youth of Miami.
