To whom it may concern,
I?m Corporal Robert ****** and I am currently serving in the British armed forces. I have recently returned from a 9 month overseas deployment. I have returned to the UK early to arrange a Christmas/ welcome home function for the rest of my platoon, who return home just in time for Christmas.
I am emailing you today to ask if your company would care to donate a prize to the raffle that will take place during the function. Any donation, no matter how big or small, would be greatly appreciated and I am certain it would help to boost morale within the platoon after a difficult time away from loved ones.
Also, if you would like to send me leaflets, business cards or catalogues then I would happily distribute them around the accommodation and dining facility to promote your company.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards
Rob ******
