This is a letter I'm sending to a group of sponsors all at once, any comments, constructive criticism welcome:

Ladies and Gentlemen;

I am writing to support Sinclair Broadcasting's decision to air the documentary “Stolen Honor: Wounds That Never Heal.” I look forward to watching it, as do my friends and family.

Please allow me to encourage you to not be moved by threats and protests from ideologues. Their protests are no more than badly disguised attempts at censorship as they seek to advance a political agenda. Believe me, the documentary will be widely watched and likely draw huge ratings.

You may know that Sylvan Learning Centers succumbed to pressure for censorship and pulled their sponsorship. There are already campaigns underway to draw support from Slyvan. By not following their example, you will draw customers you never knew you had!

Thanks for making your decision based on sound business principles and not agenda driven dogma. It will be appreciated by millions of viewers.
