Hi --COMPANY--,
My name is --YOUR NAME-- and I am a mechanical member of the Waterloo Aerial Robotics Group (WARG). We are a student design team run at the University of Waterloo, and I am contacting you today in hopes that you would be interested in sponsoring our award-winning team!
We compete in the Unmanned Systems Canada UAV Competition and have a competition coming up this May where we will demonstrate our autonomous unmanned aircraft's effectiveness to industry professionals from across Canada. Throughout these projects, our goal is to design and develop a robust autonomous aircraft system, which can be modified for a variety of surveillance and object retrieval objectives. With the university opening back up, we are looking to take advantage of this opportunity to work with our team in an in-person environment, providing our students with a hands-on experience in building and operating a cutting-edge unmanned aircraft.
We were wondering if --COMPANY-- would be willing to sponsor us via an in-kind donation, we were looking at the --- PART/LINK-- for our drone frame.
I attached our sponsorship package to this email and am happy to answer any questions you have!
Thanks!
--YOUR NAME---
