Dear Mr. Smith

It is with great pleasure that I take this opportunity to offer your organization a chance to become a valued sponsor of a charity campaign we are starting. I thought you may find what I am proposing to be of great interest, as a way to help a good cause and to gain good publicity for your company.

We are launching a new website: Dancingdorks.com. The purpose of it is to give back to the IT professionals; while building stronger relationships and to bring them together for charity. The results driven campaign will be built through Facebook, Twitter, Linked in, blog posts and various media coverage.

We are looking for IT teams to submit their best dancing videos! The winners will be selected online by voting and have a donation made in their name. They will also be endorsed on the website and we hope this becomes an annual event to spread goodwill to communities!

I would greatly appreciate any contribution your company could give to this exciting event. We have several sponsorship levels available; a contribution form has been enclosed with this letter. If you want any more information at all, feel free to contact me at  (904) 382 0075 ext. 509. Thank you in advance for your support.

Respectfully, Linda Johnson
