Dear _______


I am Kartik Singla, a grade 12 student from Waterloo Collegiate Institute. I ask for your assistance to help us participate in FIRST Robotics competition- 2005-2006 season. This competition is a great way for your company to get involved in the community. Our school has been participating in it for 2 years now. It is heavily sponsored by NASA and its regionals are held in 7 international countries. There are currently 2 regionals that are held each year in Canada– Toronto and Waterloo. The Waterloo regional was started this year with the efforts of University of Waterloo and major corporations such as X, Y and Z.

Our team participated in both Canadian regionals this year. The robot was built entirely at the University of Waterloo by 12 WCI students with the help of 3 UW undergraduate engineering students, 1 UW graduate student, 1 Engineering professor, 1 WLU student and 1 *** employee. We were associated with companies like *****,***,****,****,*****,****. Hence this has truly been a community project and we would like to get more community involved. We wish to participate in both regionals again for our 2005-2006 season. We ask for the support of your corporation to help us continue our growth this year.

Please reply back to this email if you would like further information, or set up a meeting to discuss about our team and the competition.

Thanks
