[Subject] University of Waterloo Solar Car Team - Sponsorship Inquiries
Good Afternoon,
I hope you've had a great day so far! My name is [name] and I am the Sponsorship Specialist of the UW Midnight Sun Solar car team. I am emailing to inquire about arranging a possible sponsorship for our team, Midnight Sun (UW's solar car team).
To provide some information about us, we are a 30 year old student design team founded in 1988 and one of the largest student teams on Waterloo campus. In the summer of 2018 our team competed at the American Solar Challenge, where Midnight Sun became the first-ever Canadian multi-occupant vehicle team to complete the ~3000km solar car race across the United States.
We are currently manufacturing our next vehicle, MS-XIV and would like to know if CanaKit [Company Name] would be interested in working together to make this happen through a sponsorship.
We are currently looking for some Raspberry Pis, specifically Pi Zero W and Pi 3B+. [State what we want from the company here]
Attached is our sponsorship package for you to learn more about the team. Furthermore, you may see below for some media coverage on our previous vehicle, MSXII.
