Letter Writing

Sponsorship letter

Ok, here goes what I'm looking for. I'm president of an off-road club, and I need to get some sponsors for an up coming event that we will be holding. I'm fairly new to writing this kind of thing and need some kind of help as I don't have any clue as to how to start (Yes I know I also don't have the best grammar as well). Up till this point, the previous officers had just called on people in person, but I want to try to take things to the next level and give a better representation of our club. Any kind of suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi,

I work in marketing and often have to approach companies for sponsorship.

although I basically agree with the suggestions above, I would change the emphasis of the letter by stressing the benefits to the sponsoring company first. Companies get approached for sponsorship all the time, and you really have to sell your particular opportunity to them as a hard commercial bene

Dear Guest,

Agree with all your comments. Although it might be sponsorship, in the end it is really business.

Good comments!
