In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: In the opening paragraph of the letter, you should immediately introduce yourself or your company and your cause specifically. Don't beat around the bush. People need to be hooked right out of the gate. Don't assume people know who you are or what your organization does. Explain those things, clearly. Begin with a description of the company (if it's a corporate letter) or yourself (if it's for personal sponsorship). For example, such-and-such firm is a nonprofit organization committed to rehabilitation... etc. Highlighting a few accomplishments right away will make it clear why it's not a risk to give you sponsorship. Make it very clear how the money will be specifically used. In the second paragraph or first, you need to make the direct request for sponsorship and explain why you are seeking it. In order to give you sponsorship, a company or person needs to be convinced they will benefit from doing so. So in the middle paragraphs of the letter, clearly communicate the benefits not to you, but to them. If the sponsors will get good publicity out of the sponsorship, for example, explain how. Be very specific: Will the event be televised? How many people will be attending? Will there be VIPS? If other prominent companies or their competitors are sponsoring your event, you might want to mention that. Give the sponsors options. They will like the fact they have different choices to match their individual needs or budgets. This means including a few numbers audience size, for example, or demographics of those they will reach. Also don't forget to thread in an element of emotional appeal - a personal story of someone who will be helped, for example, if said briefly (in a sentence or two) can be very moving. Explain how you will give the sponsors recognition for their sponsorship. Perhaps they can have free booth space at your event in exchange for sponsorship. Provide the essential details of the sponsorship deal that they will need to make their decision. Don't forget to include contact information. You might want to also include a self-addressed, stamped envelope to make it easier for them to respond. Don't forget to include the date you need a response by. Ask the sponsors how they prefer to be recognized. For example, how do they want their name to appear and do they want to be recognized? Offer possibilities but never assume. Ask. You should provide some concrete details in the letter to back up your organization or event. For example, if you're writing a letter for a charity, you should explain the background of the charity, such as when it was founded, who runs it, who it serves, and any awards or accomplishments it's received. Show don't tell. Don't just tell us the group or event are good or worthy. Convince us through showing details evidence that backs up why or how the event or group are good or worthy. Evidence is more persuasive than superlatives, generally. Just sending off a letter to a company is not the most personal way to develop a connection. Although a sponsorship letter is a good idea, follow up in a more personal manner. You could call or stop by if you don't get a response in 10 days. Remember though that many CEOS especially will be very busy and could be annoyed. So you might want to schedule an appointment or call first. Make sure that you convey excitement about your project. Avoid anything negative. You don't want to sound like you're begging or trying to put a guilt trip on them about donating.. If the answer is "maybe," don't feel bad about following up. Just don't do it immediately or too much or you might become annoying. Never be presumptuous. Don't assume they will give you a meeting or sponsorship. Simply thank them for their consideration. Don't forget to send a thank you note if you get a sponsorship.
Summary: Write a good intro. Outline the benefits. Convince with supporting evidence. Communicate background about the event. Follow up personally. Here is an example:

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: If you're invited to a dinner party, bring a gift or a dish, like wine or a dessert, and pay close attention to your table manners. Stay away from your phone during conversation and be friendly and cordial to everyone you meet. with others in the social scene. Talking behind other people's backs and dumping friends to move up the social ladder is the worst socialite stereotype. Avoid behaving this way yourself by remembering that a truly confident socialite doesn't need to put others down to feel strong. When others try to involve you in gossip, simply say, "From my experience, he's a wonderful person," or, "I don't know her very well, but she seems sweet." Keep your comments positive and don't say anything bad about anyone--it may come back to hurt you if you do! Strive to make one good connection with each person you meet: maybe you both scuba dive, enjoy baseball, or frequently visit art museums. These similarities will help people remember and like you. First, utilize the connections you do have, from work, school, or family. Keep in touch with them regularly and attend social events with them, asking them to introduce you to their friends and acquaintances. Get contact information for new acquaintances and treat them to lunch or coffee. When they plan a guest list for their next party, you'll be at the front of their mind. As your circle of acquaintances grows larger, remember to keep stay close to your best friends. You'll need someone who understands your ambition to be a socialite, who will have your back no matter what, and who you can trust and confide in. Conventional wisdom says that you should date--and, eventually, marry--into a rich family. Sure, it's a bonus if your spouse or partner has connections in the world of old money, but it's definitely not what you should look for in a life partner. Instead, date someone you care about and who is interested in at least being social by coming with you to parties, meeting new people, enjoying the challenges and excitement of working your way up in society together. Post them to your own social media or pose for a photographer at an event--the photos may even end up in the society section of a newspaper or magazine. Be relaxed and confident. Say, "We both look amazing tonight. This needs to be documented," or "I told myself I'd get one more picture tonight. Are you in?" The last thing you want is to come off as desperate to established socialites, and the best way to prevent this is to exude confidence. Sit up straight, walk tall, and act like you belong. If you believe it, so will everyone else.
Summary: Have impeccable manners. Avoid drama Be charming and memorable in conversation. Connect with people who can broaden your social circle. Make a few good friends and stick with them. Date someone who understands your ambition. Take pictures with other socialites. Be confident.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Coconut flour works well as a binder in recipes where you'd normally use ingredients like cracker or bread crumbs, such as meatloaf. However, you will need to double the liquid in the recipe because the coconut flour will absorb so much of it. Some people have good luck using it to thicken sauces, while others do not. In fact, some cooks recommend not trying it at all. However, you should experiment and see what works for you. You may find it works well as a thickener for your purposes. Don't forget that coconut flour will absorb more liquid than wheat flour, though, so only try a little bit at a time. If you want to make coconut chicken or shrimp, coconut flour makes a good base. Simply dip the meat into an egg wash first (whisked egg), then dip it into the coconut flour. You can also season it with salt and pepper. Next, dip it back into the egg, then roll it in coconut flakes. Finally, fry the meat as normal in oil.
Summary:
Add it as a binder for meatloaf and meatballs. Experiment with using it in sauces. Use it as a base for coconut shrimp or chicken.
