Dear Sirs, My name is Jean Patrick van der Wolde and I'm 17 years old. I am writing to seek your support for my push to achieve my 2013 objectives. I am a 4th year HAVO (high school) student and although my passion is windsurfing, I also enjoy skim boarding, long boarding, hanging out with friends and discovering the world through travels and internet. Guided by my father who thought me windsurfing when I was 11, I strive to become a professional windsurfer in years to come. I've been windsurfing for over 5 years now and controlling the wind to my benefit going ca. 65 km per hour gives me a total adrenaline rush. By racing against fellow windsurfers both on local and international level I accumulated valuable experience and it gives me the opportunity to become a better sportsman. But racing is also about winning. Windsurfing is an equipment sport, which makes it an expensive sport. Traveling to foreign countries to compete on international level makes it even more expensive. Any form of support will be greatly appreciated to cover my travel expenses and/or be able to update my equipment. I am always willing to discuss this further and I thank you in advance for your consideration. Hope to hear or read from you soon.
Kind regards, Jean Patrick van der Wolde (JP) Cell: +599-9-515-5638 | www.jp.ihangloose.com | www.facebook.com/cur191
