Dear [Affiliate Program Manager],
I am writing to express my interest in becoming an affiliate partner. I am the founder of a ski package comparison website, which aims to provide users with the best ski holiday options by regularly scraping data from various ski package holiday sites.
Assuming your affiliate program allows data scraping, I assure you of my commitment to adhere strictly to your program's terms and conditions.
Looking forward to a positive response.
