Letter Writing

Letter of request needed

0 Hello readers, I am in need of a professional looking letter requesting financial sponsoring/donations. I am horrible at writing letters, even personal ones so I must ask for your help.02br
02br
00This letter will be asking the [parties] for a money donation to help purchase a laptop that I am in need of to get my business up and running (I build, fix and install computer systems). In return their company name/logo, product or website will be advertised on the laptop itself and my toolkit, so long as their is a debt due on the laptop (until final payment is made). This will be a cheap and beneficial way of advertising as I am in public and in house (on-site) alot.02br
02br
00I have a template that looks as if it would fit this scenario, but I do not know how to begin, make it persuasive or properly spruce it up.02br

00Dear 00:02br
02br
00We are looking for a supplier of quality dyestuffs for our dye house operations. After seeing your ad in Fabrikam Inc., 02br
00we sent for your catalog and were impressed with the breadth of your line.02br
02br
00We would like to purchase an initial inventory of one unit each of #1055, 1058, and 1070. At $800 each, this would be an initial 02br
00order of $2,400. We would like to purchase these materials on net 90-day terms.02br
02br
00Northwind Traders was established seven years ago and since that time we have grown very rapidly. Our practice is to favor a 02br
00limited number of suppliers with the majority of our orders. In turn, we look for volume discounts, favorable terms, and the kind 02br
00of first-rate service others have told me you supply.02br
02br
00Other vendors and credit references include:02br
02br
00·00 00Adventure Works, 00, ATT: Chris Cannon02br

00·00 00Contoso, Ltd., 00, ATT: Jo Brown02br
02br
00·00 00Wide World Importers, 670 Walnut, 00, ATT: Don Hall02br
02br
00If you need additional financial information, I will be glad to supply it. 02br
00Alternatively, you can contact our bank directly: Woodgrove Bank, phone (123) 555-0199, account #111-1111. 02br
02br
00I look forward to hearing from you about this order.02br
02br
00Thank you,02br

00Of course, the above template is just that, something to follow along the lines of. So as an example, lets make it out to IBM, asking for a helping hand in purchasing a laptop, which will help me get the further financing I need to get my business up and running. In return they will get cheap and effective advertising so long as their is a debt on the laptop (approximately three years).02br
02br
00Thankyou for taking the time reading my request for help with a letter of request. I appreciate all feedback you may have.0-
