These fields contain the greeting long of the deceased person as well as the one of the person to notify of the received gifts. In the letter intended to the donor, it will be written that a donation in memory of the "Deceased" has been made and that the "Notify" will be informed of it.
For more details concerning the master documents, consult the Master documents management.
Letter to the family
The letter to the family aims at informing the family of the list of the received gifts by individual in memory of the deceased person. It is also meant to thank the family for suggesting to people to make an In Memoriam gift.
In order to build a master document, you have to choose the "In Memoriam gifts" type of document. This type of document contains two series of fields: The fields related to the information from the file of the person to notify (merge fields starting with Fam_) and the fields related to the information from the file of the deceased (merge fields starting with Dec_). When writing the letter, a lot of information concerning both parts will then become available.
