Address your letter to a high ranking official of a local company, such as the president, or to a prospective individual donor. Do not start your letter with "Dear Baseball Fan" or "To Whom It May Concern." Call a company or check its website for the proper spelling and title of a company official. Form letters or those with misspelled names likely will not be well received. Ask the recipient to donate. "Our efforts are extensive and, unfortunately, expensive. We will need the help of our community if we are to achieve our fundraising goal for this season. We hope you can help us with your contribution." If someone affiliated with your group has recommended this recipient, drop his name in the same paragraph. "Our league president, John Jones, said you have been a generous donor in past fundraising efforts and likely would help us again." If donors can deduct their contribution from their taxes, say so. Close with a sincere statement, reiterate how you will spend the funds and offer to provide additional information. "We appreciate your consideration of our request. Without the community's help, we will not have enough bats for our players to use in the upcoming season. Please contact me should you have any questions." Include a second sheet that details the levels of sponsorship and what the donor will receive for her contribution. Set contribution levels, such as a "home run" sponsorship of $500, and list what she will receive in return, such as a patch on the sleeve of each player's uniform listing her as their sponsor or a sign on the outfield wall of your field.
