Sample Messages

Sample messages to individual members for every occasion (well, some of them.....) Please remember that your rules are your rules, they are not necessarily the rules administered by your fellow Freegle communities and that members appreciate a personal, friendly approach, not a corporate memo!

If you have ideas for improving these messages or want to share some of your own, please add them or post on Central group asking someone else to add them.

For those you use frequently, remember you can add them to your Standard Settings for your community - and share them with the rest of your team.
