Dear Staff, Faculty and Students at The Dartmouth College


I hope this email finds you well. I'm reaching out to you on behalf of one of our staff at The Dartmouth College who is looking to give away her late Dad's Piano to a loving home. The Piano is a 2014 Yamaha baby grand, and it is in excellent condition. It would be an incredible addition to any music enthusiast’s home or studio. If you are interested in the piano or know someone who might be interested, please do not hesitate to reach out. Please contact her (redacted email address) to arrange the inspection and delivery with the moving company. It is best to email her using your personal email for a swift response.

Regards

President
Sian Leah Beilock 

Dartmouth College
Hanover, NH 03755
