the content of the letter would depend on what you are soliciting for.  there are many types of solicitation letters.  I will put some websites in the sourcs section for ya and u can check them out.  I like the one from bcaction.com.  Both of them are in the PDF format which means you are going to need adobe reader to see the documents.  If you are using an up to date computer you should have it but if not you can download it from http://adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html

No business solicitations, even of a personal nature, are permissible in Yahoo! Answers’ Questions or Answers.\nSomebody or other is bound to report  you for abuse !

(m)\n\nUrgent request, plea, or entreaty; enticing, asking. The criminal offense of urging someone to commit an unlawful act.\n\nThe term solicitation is used in a variety of legal contexts. A person who asks someone to commit an illegal act has committed the criminal act of solicitation. An employee who agrees in an employment contract not to solicit business after leaving her employer and then mails a letter to customers asking for business may be sued by the former employer for violating the non-solicitation clause of the contract. The letter constitutes a solicitation. However, if the person had placed a newspaper advertisement, this would not have been a solicitation because a solicitation must be addressed to a particular individual.\n\nMany solicitations in everyday life appear to be legal. For example, a telemarketer who tries to sell a legitimate product by calling potential customers is making a solicitation. It may or may not be legal, however, depending on the laws of the states where the telemarketer and the caller reside. If either of the states requires that telemarketers register with the state government, then the legality of the solicitation will depend on whether the telemarketer met this registration requirement. Failure to register may make the telemarketing company liable for civil fines or criminal penalties.\n\nSolicitation laws and regulations govern specific types of organizations and economic activities. For example, charitable organizations must register with state agencies before legally soliciting money. The federal Securities and Exchange Commission has rigid rules concerning the solicitation of shareholders for votes involving changes in corporate structure or leadership.\n\nCriminal solicitation commonly involves crimes such as prostitution and drug dealing, though politicians have been convicted for solicitation of a bribe. The crime of solicitation is completed if one person intentionally entices, advises, incites, orders, or otherwise encourages another to commit a crime. The crime solicited need not actually be committed for solicitation to occur.\n\nWhen law enforcement agencies seek to curtail prostitution, they use decoy operations. A person who offers to perform a sex act with an undercover officer for money can be arrested for solicitation of prostitution. Police decoys are also used to nab customers. When a person looking to pay for sex approaches a decoy officer and makes, by words or gestures, this request, the person can be arrested for solicitation of prostitution. Similar operations are used to reduce the sale of narcotics.

This request sounds a little suspicious.  Why do you need free samples.  It seems to me that if this individual has made a good impression doing supply teaching, s/he should be able to get legitimate letters of recommendation.
