Mail Merge II

Pair Project


Use your skills to create a mail-merge letter to a set of students or teachers in your school. You do not have to include addresses if you don't wish to. You will have to create a dataset that has a minimum of the recipients' names in it. Have fun with other possible fields that will help you to develop a mail merged letter.


The letter should be a smart letter. It should use appropriate Mail Merge fields. It should include some sort of rule(s). Feel free to research the different kinds of rules that the software you are using has to offer. Your letter could be:
  1. a letter of complaint
  2. a letter of commendation
  3. an invitation
  4. an letter of opportunity
  5. your idea

Be creative and test your Document Production skills in the area of Mail Merge!

Dear Mr. Nguyen

I have had such a fun time working next to you in class. Even though you are smarter than me, you never made me look like a fool and I really appreciate that!

I hope that we have a chance to work together again!

Kind regards,

Dear Ms. Huynh

I have had such a terrible time working next to you in class. You are not as smart as me, so I often made you look like a fool and I really enjoyed that!

I hope that we never have a chance to work together again!

Kind regards,

Minh Chau

Can you imagine what the data file looks like for the above letter?!

Once you have generated the letters, how about printing them out and delivering them to the different recipients?
