How do you write a formal letter asking a company to sponser?

I need to help raise some money for my robotics team from school and I know a few companies I could ask but I don't know the format for pleading for sponserships or grants or something.
Who do I address it to?
How do I format it?
What things should I say and not say?
If you can answer any, that would be great!

Answer:
To whom it may concern,
My name is ....and I represent ....school, and the robotics team.
Our purpose is to ...., and we would appreciate any support you may be able to lend.
As you know, our school has placed....before, and with your help we can place better this year.
Please give this some thought.
Thankfully yours..
