Dear <director name here>,
I would like to attend Society of Hospital Medicine's (SHM) annual conference, Hospital Medicine 2011, May 10-13.

This will also be a great opportunity for me to network with thousands of other hospital medicine professionals, including leading experts in the field.
I am seeking sponsorship for the registration fee, travel expenses and expenses during the conference.
Here is my pre-course of choice during HM11:
