I got out of the Army in 2008 and just joined the XXXXXXXXX program so I will be fishing those tournaments when they come near me. I will also be fishing a xxxxxxx xxxxxx charity series to raise money for the XXXXX XXXXX and some FLW-BFL co-angler events. My partner already fishes the FLW and also has a guide service so I am learning alot from him. I could display your logo on my truck, wear shirts/hats, and display your company on my tournament jersey. I would greatly appreciate your help in helping me live my dream and I would always represent your company very respectfully. I am already sponsored by xxxx plastics and since they sell your product the Powell rods logo is already on my jersey.

Thanks,

Above is an example of what not to send prospective sponsors.

As of late I have been getting bombarded with sponsorship requests and I look at all of them. When I see one like this I will not even consider it!

Some of you may not see any thing wrong with this request until you understand that I do not sell rods and have nothing to do with the companies in this email.

My advice for this gentleman would be.

Take the time to address the company that you are targeting for sponsorship and don't just copy and paste your request to another email.

haha, i dont get why people are so caught up with sponsors, id rather just do well and have the company approach me.
