Dear Mr Branson,

My name is [Insert name] and in 2008 I am going for [however long] to Chille, South America. I am currently looking for help funding my trip.

I am writing to you to kindly ask you to help fund my trip. When I am in Chille I will be helpingthe sick and the poor and visiting several villages to try and make their villages a better place to live.

I believe funding this trip could help get you and your company media coverage in further away places. I would be happy to do something of your choice. For example wear clothes with "Sponsored By Richard Branson/Virgin Records."

I would appreciate any donations you could give to this well intentioned cause.

Yours faithfully,
[Insert Name]

I didn't spend long. Just an idea I came up with. Feel free to use it/add parts/delete parts etc

google ads.

You could get a domain or use a free one like, and then it can be about your trip the causes, how much you need, you can get words of support and get people to sign it and click on the link to google ads, my mate earned alot from google ads so yh.

Or do what Craig said {:

[benjamin]

ooh, that sounds quite different

i was going to make a myspace to put up all the dates of fundraising events, how much we make/made, pictures of stuff, and dates times ect pictures of the team going

i didn't think about google ads rly

Why don't you clear out your room/loft/attic/shed etc. and ask your family to do likewise.

Sell decent things on ebay (maybe mobile phones or games or something), and then with the other stuff why not go to a car boot sale and sell it? Last year we cleaned out all our loft and me and my dad took the stuff to a car boot sale and got £60. All for junk which was just sitting in our loft doing nothing - you'd be surprised at the crap people actually buy haha.

You could also maybe do a tombola or something? Get a book of raffle tickets and give one each to some prizes, maybe the top prize being a cheap bottle of wine or something - then sell tickets at 20p each or something...

school concert - simple.
we did a school concert to raise money for some students to go to ghana.

just ask the person who does lights in your school if you know them - if not, head of drama.

it's probably a little easier for me though as i am the school lighist, lmao.
