While the options described here allow you to email a fixed PDF attachment to donors as an attachment, with no merging, or just a plain email with no attachment, there may be cases when one of the other methods for emailing to donors from DONATION ( Emailing Receipts, Letters or Statements, or Using Mass Email Services) would be more appropriate. Of course, when we say 'donors', they do not have to have actually donated any money - they just have to be on the Donor List in the program. Now the one menu option Email Donors handles either process. Note: Prior to Release 4.37 of DONATION, this menu option was split into two: Letters ⇒ Email Everyone that allowed you to send an email with no attachment, and Letters ⇒ Email Newsletters that allowed you to send an email with an attachment. This option is not available with the free Lite version of DONATION.

That optional attachment might be a newsletter, or perhaps a fundraising document.

The menu option Letters ⇒ Email Donors can be used to send an email to all donors with email addresses, optionally including the same PDF file as an attachment.
