Dear <organizer>:

By now you should have received notification that ACM SIGSOFT has approved
your request for Sponsorship for <name of conference>.

Sponsorship by SIGSOFT provides a number of benefits to event 
organizers, including:

     * SIGSOFT and ACM provide professional help and guidance in organizing 
       the event, including negotiations with hotels. 

     * SIGSOFT-sponsored conferences may designate a number of accepted 
       papers for ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award for the conference
       (see http://www.acm.org/sigsoft/awards/paper.html for more information
        about these awards).
    
     * A free advertisement for the event can appear in SIGSOFT Software 
       Engineering Notes (SEN). The advertisement should be sent to the 
       editor of SEN, Will Tracz (will.tracz@lmco.com),  at least six weeks 
       before the announcement is to appear in a non-conference issue.

     * The event will appear in the SIGSOFT list of events. 

     * The event will be entered into the Call for papers and
       Professional Calendar sections of Communications of the ACM

     * A special rate is available for purchase of an advertisement
       in Communications of the ACM (CACM). Discounts on ACM mailing
       lists are also available. Please contact the SIGSOFT Program
       Director, Ginger Ignatoff (ignatoff@acm.org),  for further       
       information.


SIGSOFT must be mentioned in any publicity (e.g., the call for 
participation) and publication (e.g., the proceedings) associated with 
the event. The SIGSOFT logo image must appear wherever other, relevant 
graphic images appear (e.g., on flyers, posters, web pages, and proceedings
