Summer 2003
To Whom It May Concern:
Enrique Montiel is on a quest to be the 2004 Olympian for his weight class in wrestling. He has placed in the Final U.S. Olympic Team Trails in the past and is determined to succeed even greater. I will be personally coaching him this year to help him reach this goal. I have individually coached several wrestlers in the past who have qualified and become members of the last three United States Olympic teams.
As you may know, our government does not fund athletes or programs so each athlete must support himself in his Olympic quest. The reality is that the success of an Olympic hopeful (such as Enrique) is very closely related to the financing he has available to support the training, travel, competition, and living expenses that are required to properly develop him into the champion he is capable of becoming.
I am excited to be supporting Enrique Montiel to grow and develop into the very best he can be. If there is any way you can help Enrique so that he can focus 100% of his energy and time on training to reach his goal it would be greatly appreciated. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding my coaching Enrique to realize his Olympic quest.
Once again, your caring and support is greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
Bob Anderson
