Preston, first, do not take offense to the things that I am going to say in this post.  I am not totally sure that you will read it, but if you do, take the things that I say, and use them.

First off, use correct grammar.  A sponsor, as FlyRod pointed out, will not consider a person that can not correctly use the English language.  Although I was able to understand your post above, a sponsor will take one look at it, and will not say a word.  Maybe that is why I am the first person that is posting information to you, but there were 126-127 views??

Once you begin to use proper grammar, look outside the box for sponsors.  Try to make friends.  Do not come out with the attitude that you are going to get the big sponsors, such as Zoom, Strike King, etc.  Start in your hometown, and look for small sponsorships that are willing to pitch in $10 dollars to a tournament entrance fee, etc.

Lastly, do not ask what a sponsor can do for you.  It is paramount that you extend a friendly, respective, and business-minded appearance and mind-set to them, and let them know what you can do and will do for them.  

Hope that this helps, and I hope to see you post in reply to this message.  

it's not saying much but i allready had 2 sponsorship offers from this post

Wow you must be good.

Hummmm,  From this post huh?  You must really be good.  Just hope your request letters don't look as bad as your post did.  Glad to hear that someone picked you up.  I would still work on your grammer and spelling though, as John stated in his reply to your post.  Never hurts to get better and bigger sponsors.
