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.
This 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.
I 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.

Dear :
We are looking for a supplier of quality dyestuffs for our dye house operations. After seeing your ad in Fabrikam Inc.,
we sent for your catalog and were impressed with the breadth of your line.
We would like to purchase an initial inventory of one unit each of #1055, 1058, and 1070. At $800 each, this would be an initial
order of $2,400. We would like to purchase these materials on net 90-day terms.
Northwind Traders was established seven years ago and since that time we have grown very rapidly. Our practice is to favor a
limited number of suppliers with the majority of our orders. In turn, we look for volume discounts, favorable terms, and the kind
of first-rate service others have told me you supply.
Other vendors and credit references include:
· Adventure Works, 100 Main Ave., El Paso, TX 98074, ATT: Chris Cannon
· Contoso, Ltd., 584 Oak Street, Middletown, NJ 98052, ATT: Jo Brown
· Wide World Importers, 670 Walnut, Vernon, NH 98053, ATT: Don Hall
If you need additional financial information, I will be glad to supply it.
Alternatively, you can contact our bank directly: Woodgrove Bank, phone (123) 555-0199, account #111-1111.
I look forward to hearing from you about this order.
Thank you,

Of 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).
Thankyou for taking the time reading my request for help with a letter of request. I appreciate all feedback you may have.
