Dear XXXXX(name of customer contact per),

We are very keen to explore the possibility of garnering media coverage on the project we have just signed with XXXXXXXX(Company name) as the
technology provider for the implementation of the XXXXX (brief description of the project). We hope to gain media coverage on the project through the distribution of a news release on the project being awarded by XXXXX (company name) to IBM. If you are agreeable, I will liaise with our Communications team on a draft news release which we will then work closely with you and your public relations/communicaitons department on.

The news release will give some detail of the project and how
XXXXXX(company name) is leveraging technology for business efficiency and productivity. The release will also illustrate XXXXXXX (company name) as an innovative organisation that leverages technology to provide enhanced services to its customers. It will also will contain a quote each from XXXXXX (company name) and IBM. Media in XXXX (country) and Asia Pacific, in general, are very keen to feature stories from a user's perspective as it forms a powerful testimony to the benefits of IT. More importantly, we will be able to convey to your customers that XXXXXXX (company name) is constantly looking at ways to add value to its customers. 

I hope you can explore this with your public relations/communications team and agree to the press release on the project. It would add great value to both organizations in terms of publicity and the partnership.

Thanks and warm regards,
XXXX (IBMer)
