Past Sponsor

[Mr. Name],

I hope that the past year has treated you well. I am writing on behalf of MIT's Mobile Autonomous Systems Laboratory, Maslab. All of the Maslab participants, students and staff alike, have been delighted to have [company] as a sponsor. With January approaching, we hope that this support will continue.
I realize that by this point you probably know it all, but just in case I've attached a brief document that summarizes what Maslab is about and what [company] can gain by sponsoring the competition. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to write. Or, if you prefer, you can reach me on the phone, day or night, at [phone number].
Sincerely,
[name]
Maslab Sponsor Relations Director

New Sponsor

[Mr. Name],

My name is [your name] and I am writing on behalf of MIT's Mobile Autonomous Systems Laboratory, Maslab (http://maslab.csail.mit.edu/). The program is a month-long competition in which MIT students compete to create autonomous robots from scratch which can navigate using vision through unknown playing fields. Due to the difficult nature of the competition, Maslab attracts some of the brightest and most talented programmers, electrical engineers, and mechanical engineers as well as students from other majors. As such, we were wondering if [company] would be interested in sponsoring Maslab for [year]. Sponsorship can be in the form of components or financial support.

Maslab offers many benefits to its sponsors including sponsor dinners, resumes and advertising on the MIT campus throughout the year. Whether you are interested in recruiting full-time employees, interns, or simply want to get your name out on campus, Maslab is a great venue. I've attached a brief document that summarizes what Maslab is about and what [company] can gain by sponsoring the competition.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to write. Or, if you prefer, you can reach me on the phone, day or night, at [phone number].
Sincerely,
[name]
Maslab Sponsor Relations Director
