Sponsorship letter to local business.
Okay, in this letter I am writing to a local news station. I'll just say channel 5.
To whom it may concern,
My name is Jessica, I am 16 years old and in eleventh grade. I have lived in this part of Tennessee all of my life and have grown up watching Channel 5 News. Most of my memories from childhood are my family and I going to local events sponsored by Channel 5, many of which were very enjoyable.
I am writing this letter because I am looking to be sponsored by Channel 5 News on an educational trip to France, Italy, and Malta. I will learn local customs and even live with a family in Malta for two days all while gaining a new prospective on international beliefs, customs, and education. I will also get to change the impression people have of American youth and in turn America itself.
I am going as a student ambassador with People to People. People to People was founded by President Dwight D. Eisenhower, with help from many others, in 1956 to promote peace and understanding. People to People has been endorsed by many other presidents, including but not limited to: John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan, William Clinton, George H. W. Bush, and President George W. Bush.
I will be making a significant contribution to the cause of peace if I was to go on this trip.
I have raised $2,540 to go on this trip but I am nowhere near the goal of $6,000, which would pay for airline tickets to and from, hotel stays, food, and for tours I will be taking into internationally famous buildings such as the Louvre and see the "Mona Lisa" then to Academia Gallery, home to Michelangelo's "David".
I would be very happy to volunteer at your next local events if you would help me with my trip or to write something about the trip itself for you to use in the news.
Yours truely,
Jessica.

Ok, I personally don't like the last paragraph and I don't know how to broach the topic of me volunteering after I get back....
I also want to say something about how I could write an article for them to use about internation peace. I just don't know HOW to say it.
any suggestions??

Hi, not a bad letter overall but you need to bear in mind that to them it needs to be a business proposition. They sponsor local events as that is a cheap way for them to achieve advertising and good PR. They don't do it just to be nice.

- You need to get in the benefits to them nice and early in your letter, including your 'fully co-operating with any PR activities related to their sponsorship' (your idea of appearing at local events is an example of this but they would probably want a lot more) and a news report on your trip.
