If you could send me a copy of the two letters that you used previously that would be great. Here's the version used for new companies (as GROFF source).

This year's conference will be the sixteenth SIGCOMM conference. We expect over 300 of the finest researchers from around the world will come to Stanford University in August of 1996 for two days of technical tutorials and three days of research presentations. Historically, many of the innovative ideas presented at SIGCOMM have rapidly found their way into Internet products. .LP Sponsors are asked to contribute $2,500 each. These contributions are used to offset startup costs, reduce conference fees, and improve meals and services at the conference. This year sponsor support is particularly important to us because we will use the sponsors' gifts to help experiment with broadcasting portions of the conference over the Internet and the cable networks in the Bay Area. .LP Given \*(C1's prominence in the networking field, we think there's a natural fit with the networking research community that will attend ACM SIGCOMM '96. .LP As a sponsor, \*(C1's logo would be prominently included in our conference mailings (sent to 25,000 networking engineers worldwide) and the conference proceedings (sent to nearly 6,000 engineers and libraries). A representative of each sponsor will also be invited to our conference social, which we plan to hold at a Bay Area winery. (If you'd like to sponsor the social, please let me know). .LP If you are interested in sponsoring SIGCOMM '96, please contact me at the address or phone number below before March 15th. (Our advertising goes to press in late March). If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to hearing from you. .sp 0.5 .LP Sincerely, .sp 3 Craig Partridge .br General Chair, ACM SIGCOMM '96 .br 2370 Amherst St .br Palo Alto CA 94306-1208 .sp Phone/FAX: 415-493-5450\ \ \ e-mail: craig@bbn.com
