| | a letter of request (for a sponsor) Hello my teachers. Can you check this letter for me plz. It is a letter of request to a sponsor to have one of the sponsored events in their site.
Dear Mr. Khalid Ali
We would like to show our gratefulness and appreciation for QD sponsorship for summer activities 2008 for QSN
We also like to inform you about the Ending Ceremony, in which we will honor all volunteers for summer activities; in addition to honoring all sponsors for the last six months including QD. Representatives of different sectors and organizations will also be invited to the ceremony.
We are aiming to make this ceremony a social sitting event. This will create a strong relationship between your organization and our Alumni. Hence, we are formally requesting this ceremony to be at QD site.
The ceremony will start at 5:00 PM and end at 8:00. We are also planning to have speakers and presentations in the ceremony; hence, we would like you to provide the ceremony with a projector, screen, microphones and wireless connection. We are targeting 100 guests.
I would like to thank you again for all your support and would appreciate knowing your response by calling on 555555
yours,
Abdulla Hassan

We are also planning to have speakers and presentations in the ceremony. Therefore, we want to know if we can set up a projector, screen, microphones and wireless connection. We are expecting 100 guests. What do you think?

We are also planning to have speakers and presentations in the ceremony. Therefore, we want to know if you can provide a projector, screen, microphones and wireless connection. We are expecting 100 guests.
