Dear [sponsor's name],

I'd like to let you know about a new opportunity we have here at [our organization]. We are looking for four local sponsors to help cover the cost of our website. As you probably know, our website is a valuable tool for reaching out to the community and keeping our [friends, members, patrons] informed. In appreciation for a contribution of [$80], we will place a graphic linking to your website at the top of every page of our website for an entire year. Most people at [our organization] would prefer to do business with someone involved here rather than play roulette with the Yellow Pages, and a graphic on our website would be a simple, inexpensive, and effective way to let people know about [sponsor’s company].

You can probably think of a number of other folks involved at [our organization] who are business owners or independent agents and would be interested in getting advertising exposure on our website. Unfortunately, we only have room for four sponsors. We don’t want to play favorites, so we’re just going to accept the first four people who commit. Can I put you down for a sponsorship?

Sincerely,
[your name]

This is an example for a youth missionary trip. You can change it to suit your needs.

Dear [sponsor’s name],

[Our organization] will be sending a group students to Costa Rica this summer. We believe God will use this trip to draw our students closer to Him and minister through our students to the people of Costa Rica. To cover the cost of the trip, we need to raise $4000, so we’ve come up with a creative fundraiser we thought might interest you. We are looking for four local businesses to sponsor our website. In appreciation for a [tax-deductible?] contribution of [$1000], we will place a graphic linking to your website at the top of every page of our website for an entire year. Most people at [our organization] would prefer to do business with someone else involved here rather than play roulette with the Yellow Pages, and a graphic on our website would be a simple, effective way to let people know about [sponsor’s company].

(Note that the 117x60 graphic size assumes you will be displaying a quarter-banner sized graphic for the sponsor. If a half-banner or full-banner will be displayed instead, you will want to change that line accordingly.)
