Chris,
Most of the information you seek is available either right here on Muhdzailans thread or in the history of this forum; set your browser to look back about 100 days and you'll find several topics which will point you in the right direction. Other general information on sponsorship is available in the Wannabes forum.
To avoid over-duplication of topics I'm closing this one down. The information is out there, and there are many people on here more than willing to help, though no-one likes typing the same answer several times on different threads. Good luck with your career.
