(Вступительное обращение)
Dear Mr Lazarev, (:)
(Основной текст письма)
I’m writing on behalf of teenagers who live in our town. Many young
people have a great desire to be healthy and to keep fit but our school
fitness club is very poor and has no enough sports facilities.

I am inquiring if there is any possibility of obtaining some financial assistance from you to buy necessary equipment.
I do think it would be better for youth of our town to go in for sports
than to walk in the streets in the evenings and drink alcohol and smoke.

Please let us know about your decision whatever it is. We would be glad to help and to take part in construction works if needed.
Faithfully yours,
