Dear, [COMPANY]
My name is [NAME], and I am a part 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 to 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.
For the team to participate on a competitive level, as well as to provide a better educational experience for students in our team, we need the help of sponsors. On behalf of WARG, I am inquiring as to whether [COMPANY] would be interested in aiding our cause.
