MountainHiker · Answer

here is your post.

Dear :

As the sponsorship coordinator of Clan AntiVirus (edited) I wondered if your company would be interested in financially helping some of our members compete in the Cyberathlete Professional League (edited). As one of the leading teams in the country we have a track record of excellence both in competition and the administration of our e-sport. The team has been around for years and has made a significant impact on the international stage. We currently play in the Day of Defeat invite division of the Cyberathelete Amateur League (edited). We have a positive outlook on the summer CPL where the prize purse is $30,000 and we are looking to be sponsored to get to CPL to win that prize and gain a better recognition and business base for our sponsors. The e-sports market is a hard one to crack, but sponsoring our Team for CPL will most certainly get a head start on the competition in cracking the code to the e-sports market
I am writing to you because the products and financial sponsorship would appeal to many, if not all of the players and spectators. Sponsorship of our gaming team would raise the profile of amongst over all the attendee’s of CPL and all the teams that participate in e-sports. In return for your investment in the team would receive the following benefits:

? Exposure
o More than six thousand (6000) people are expected to be attending the CPL Extreme Summer Championships.
o Day of Defeat has a $30,000 tournament.
o We are a team that participates in the highest level of play in North America.
o Teams from many international countries will be there including:
? England;
? Brazil;
? Canada;
? Germany;
? Sweden.
o We are a well known team in the Day of Defeat community and would provide a showcase for your sponsorship

? Recognition
o Your companies’ logo will appear on our website.
o Your logo will appear on the shirts we wear while competing at CPL.
o Your logo will appear on the message of the day on our game server.
o We would create hype for your product.
o Your name will be advertised in interviews and public relations at CPL.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future, when we can discuss this in greater detail. You can reach me by email at .

Yours sincerely,

As the sponsorship coordinator of Clan AntiVirus (edited) I would like to propose helping our members compete in the Cyberathlete Professional League (edited) through a financial sponsorship.

I dislike "wonder".

As one of the leading teams in the country we have a track record of excellence both in competition and the administration of our e-sport.

When I go to the dictionary and look at excellence, it doesn't give me a win loss record, or anything that I can wrap my arms around. The same applies to " highest level of play" later on. Be more specific.

The team has been around for years and has made a significant impact on the international stage.

Ditto. How many years are "years"? 1, 0.5? Or 20? Or somewhere in between?

The e-sports market is a hard one to crack, but sponsoring our Team for CPL will most certainly get a head start on the competition in cracking the code to the e-sports market

I would ease off the "cracking" and use something more professional. I would also not use "hype". Rather you will help create brand awareness.

Try to be as specific as possible with regard to the benefits. Media coverage, by whom, and how large is their audience? Are you guaranteed to get an audience? Do you have something that draws the media to you? For example, do you have an attractive woman as part of your team in a typically male dominated sport? Can you make her your spokesperson? Whoever your spokesperson is, is he or she a good ambassador for the sport? How will you ensure that their message gets out there?

If you really want to create a buzz, why not have Clan Antivirus kick in a few grand on top of the 30 grand prize. That way, they will be sure to get mentioned?

Anyway, you are able to write reasonably well. So now you are wrestling with your marketing issues.
