Dear Sir,

I am writing to you as the Cultural Minister of the 7th Guild Council at Metropolitan lnternational
University to propose the organization of a Cultural Galla event in the upcoming semester of august in-
take. This event aims to celebrate the rich diversity and talent within our university community, as well
as to promote cultural exchange and understanding among our students, faculty, and staff.

The Cultural Galla will feature a variety of performances, including music, dance, theater, and art
exhibitions, showcasing the artistic abilities and cultural traditions of our students. In addition, there will
be cultural workshops, food stalls offering cuisines from different parts of the world, and interactive
activities that encourage cross-cultural dialogue and collaboration.

We believe that this event will not only provide an entertaining and enriching experience for our
university community but also foster a sense of unity and inclusivity among our diverse student body. It
is an opportunity for us to come together and appreciate the unique heritage and talents that each
individual brings to our campus.

In order to make this event a success, we are seeking sponsorship from Metropolitan lnternational
University to cover the expenses related to venue rental, equipment rental, promotional materials, and
other logistical costs. We believe that your support will not only enable us to host a memorable and
impactful event but also demonstrate the university's commitment to promoting cultural diversity and
engagement on campus

We are confident that the Cultural Galla will be well-received by the university community and will help
to reinforce Metropolitan University's reputation as a vibrant and inclusive institution. We hope that
you will consider our proposal and provide the necessary financial support to make this event a reality.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We look forward to discussing this proposal further and
working together to organize a successful Cultural Galla event at Metropolitan International University.
