Dear someone whom it may concern,

I hope this message finds you well and thriving in your esteemed business.

My name is Sonoko Ishiyama, and I am in charge of public relations for the Parents' Association at Asahi Gakuen Orange School Branch, a Japanese language supplementary school in Los Angeles. I am writing to kindly request your support for an upcoming fundraising event aimed at improving the educational environment for children learning Japanese language and culture in America.

At Asahi Gakuen, we are planning various projects to provide better learning opportunities for our students. These include purchasing new Japanese language books and teaching materials, as well as improving playground facilities. Achieving these goals is challenging without the support of our local and Japanese business community, hence we are seeking collaboration with local enterprises.

We would be grateful if your company could consider donating items such as meal vouchers or gift certificates for our fundraising event. The items provided will be used in raffles and auctions at the event, with all proceeds going towards funding projects at Asahi Gakuen Orange School Branch.

Your support will not only significantly contribute to enhancing the educational environment for children learning Japanese in America but also help in building a positive image of your company within the Japanese community. Additionally, the event will be attended by parents and other stakeholders, potentially increasing your company's visibility and recognition.

We sincerely hope you will consider our request. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or suggestions. We believe that your support will lead to a brighter future for our children.

Sincerely,

Sonoko Ishiyama
