Mariah Perkins sent a message to John Schlifske that said:
Dear Mr. John E. Schlifske,
I am a high school student enrolled in an engineering introductory class. I am part of a group with three other students and we are working on a project called "F1 in Schools", where we have to create our own car. For part of the project, we must have at least 5 sponsors to allow us to put their logo on our car. This is for educational purposes only and we would only use your logo for this project. We ask that you respond as soon as possible, for our project is due in a few weeks. Thank you for your time.
Sincerely, Mariah Perkins
