Dear Madame Octa,

     We are organizing a research for extraordinary animals with a small group of scientists.

     I’m writing to ask if you are willing to sponsor our activity. We know that you are extraordinary, too. I admire your job as a circus member, and I’m very interested in how you can bite.

     Could you please sponsor our activity?

Yours sincerely
