To Whom it may concern:
My name is Darryl Allen, I am the VP of Marketing for the game Fortress Forever.
On behalf of the FF team, I would like to ask TWL to become the Official League of Fortress Forever.
Fortress Forever is an indie game developed over a ~5 year period by a group of volunteers from around the globe; ranging from North America to Europe to Australia.
All content developed, servers, and hosting has been sponsored over the years by friends, associates and companies kind enough to help us out.
The Fortress Forever team would be forever grateful if TWL could assist us in achieving our goal of making Fortress Forever a known brand, through cross promotion.
We're only going to be as successful as the teams and communities we're working with. As the VP of marketing, my strategy is to setup numerous cross-promotion campaigns. We'll be targeting the largest GSPs, Voice Providers, as well as leagues and communities. Our group of volunteers will be generating ads promoting both Fortress Forever, as well as our partners and their products. In return we will be asking for our partners to run promotions, ad campaigns and news letters promoting Fortress Forever. Thus Company X will be the official - provider of Fortress Forever.
Although not all sites and communities will be ideal for cross-promotion, we would like to discuss the possibility of high exposure through your site, either via front page articles, graphics, news letters or even all of the above if we're lucky enough. In return we will have your brand logo and name permanently listed at the top of our partners page - as well as a front-page post, and content posted on our social media outlets.
The goal is to have numerous global large communities and mid-large size companies promoting Fortress Forever. Fortress Forever will be a high-traffic hub between companies' users, in return creating brand awareness and increasing user base for everyone.
Fortress Forever will remain free on the Valve Steam platform. We are currently in contact with Valve Steamworks to make Fortress Forever available for download right through Steam.(Currently available as a 3rd party download)
My immediate goal as the new VP of Marketing is to re-vamp our website, (which is currently underway), followed by proper utilization of social networking. Our first milestone is 5000 Facebook likes.
I am free for a chat most anytime this week, and would be very grateful if we can discuss a tentative and conditional partnership.
Co-marketing and cross-promoting with an indie game will be a unique and rewarding opportunity for TWL . The FF team can provide a great deal of exposure for TWL directly to your target audience, for $0 cost.
To date we have official partnerships with the biggest GSP globally, www.GameServers.com as well as the #1 Voice & Ventrilo Provider, NationVoice, and agreements with QuakeNet, as well as pending other community sites, teams and companies. All affiliates will be doing their best to promote FF, in turn promoting both FF and FF's partner’s. By cross promoting with FF, company brands are sure to become even wider known.
We're stronger in numbers.
How does this help TWL?
If company A were to become the official Y provider of Fortress Forever - it would be in their best interest to promote the game as much as possible to direct more traffic to their business. While company A is promoting through their means, company B C & D who are also official providers are gaining brand awareness. Company A will be harvesting the benefits from the advertising efforts of companies B C and D (who are promoting different products).
We would like TWL to become the Official League of Fortress Forever.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time,
Darryl Allen

One of the biggest questions would be what are you doing for Anti-Cheat. I have seen several very good Indie games go into the dump due to lack of anticheat support. Without something seriuous there it will likely struggle.

we do run on the Steam engine, so VAC as well as most other anti-cheats used for TF2 and CS should do the job quite well.
Perhaps we can setup a time to discuss this week?
