Guys, thank you very much for this information. I’m writing a paper in order to achieve my degree at my university (University of Monterrey, Mexico), and I’ve found this very helpful. Actually, I’d like to make a more direct contact with you in order to share some points or bibliography that could help us both. Once again, thank you very much!

Hi there,
My name is Brenda and I work for H Street Media. I really like your site and think that it would be a great place to advertise with. What we’d like to do is place a text link in your next upcoming post on the main page. Or if you have other ideas, I am open to other forms of sponsorship as well
.
We are willing to pay for it in full up front, via paypal or any other method you’d prefer.
Thanks and looking forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Brenda Smith

Dear Madam/Sir,
I am getting in touch as I am interested in placing some advertising on your website http://www.soccerpolitics.com .
The website that I am looking to promote allows people to buy and sell tickets online. This includes concert and theater tickets etc. I am used to working with webmasters in a couple of different ways. In some cases we work with Banner ads and in others we work together by providing excellent editorial content, which is written by our team of expert copywriters.
The idea behind the editorial content is to enrich your website with something that your users will value, and at the same time provide us with an opportunity to promote our brand.
If this is something that you think would be of interest to you, it would be great if you could get in touch with me.
I look forward to hearing from you.
