Hello [insert your name for informal-ness]!
I'll get straight to the point: I want you to sponsor me.
I agreed (admittedly while drunk) to take part in the 2009 Longon Triathlon. I'm stepping up to the challenge and will be raising money for the British Red Cross.
I will be competing at the Olympic distance which involves: Swimming, Cycling and then Running.
If you're a loving, caring human or even a cold-hearted penny pincher looking to break the mould, please consider sponsoring me. This is your ticket straight to heaven.
The best way to sponsor me is via Justgiving, you can make a donation by clicking here.
