I would like to help writing a letter to the community to see if I can get finianical support to offset the cost of participating. 
 I am not sure how to start off the letter.It is for support for my sons go karts. I am not sure if I should ask for a certain dollar amount and base it on a ranking level; top level gets the most advertisements but they pay the most.  I would really like a basic letter that I can modify to fit my needs. I have been looking around but I can not find any letters. Is there any that you know of that I can look at and will sort of work with what i need?. any help will be greatly appreciated.

Let me preface this my telling you that I have no
idea what your business is, so I am unfamiliar with much of the
terminology. That off my chest, I think your letter is pretty
much there; my main complaint would be format, which should be
clearer. I have done so below (by creating clear paragraphs), and
included a few changes (for instance, ' has occurred to me' is more
politic than 'I have concluded'). You don't need the addressee's
email addresses in the address. One note is in brackets:

I am currently the owner of a gaming community for the New York area ( http://7hmgaming.com ). I assumed ownership in November 2004. At that time, the site was originally called http://theheavymachince.com .
During the months of November 2004 – January 2005, I worked on
redesigning the site, obtaining a new name and focused on keeping the
identity of the site as well as a plan to attract new visitors. On

Tell them who you are, what your group
does, and why their sponsorship would be good business for them. 
Be specific-- tell them what you want to accomplish and how their
products can contribute to that end. Make clear how your group
intends to publicize the sponsor's contribution. 
 
Write up a draft letter and post it here, and we'll work on it.</description></item><item><title>Letter of Sponsorship (but looking to be sponsored with products, not money</title><link>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LetterSponsorshipLookingSponsored-ProductsMoney/bgzdb/post.htm</link><pubDate>Sun, 26 Apr 2009 08:20:25 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:114496</guid><dc:creator>DavidOfTheEast</dc:creator><slash:comments>8</slash:comments><comments>http://www.englishforums.com/English/LetterSponsorshipLookingSponsored-ProductsMoney/bgzdb/post.htm</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments5-114496.xml</wfw:commentRss><description>Hello. My name is David and I am a member of 7hmgaming.com. 
Recently we held our seventh annual LAN party in White Plains, NY and
had one sponsor pull through. I am not too sure how the head
teasuring advisor writes his sponsorship letters, but I was wondering
how to write a sponsorship letter to a business and have them sponsor
our LAN Parties with products?  
 
I know this is my first time posting a question on these boards, but I
hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks a lot!</description></item></channel></rss>
