Dear Sponsor X,
My name is Matt Jones, I am 22 years old, and aiming to fish professionally for a career. I consider myself lucky that I have a supportive family, understanding my pursuit in competitive fishing. They have given me the freedom to follow my dream, and i am determined to do so. Since reading my first Bassmaster magazine at the age of 11, I knew that fishing was going to be a life long pursuit. With the recent boom in tournament popularity, I have decided that 2006 will be the official year to start my fishing career. I am confident that I will succeed, and will NEVER give up.
