I think it would be better to follow on how you do this from this post.

TG - I'm in. I want to get the sample and try it out first. Makes it much easier to write the request and add a SHORT personal experience with the product.
In your retail experience, do foresee any red flags going up if all of a sudden a company gets 100 emails or more for the same product in a one month or shorter timeframe requesting that their stores carry the product?
Also - why stop at home depot? Whey not send requests to Loes, Walmart, Etc...?
I'm up for it.
Good questions Pop, I should have added this to the post and I will go back and do so:
Be sure to tell them you got a sample from the company and that is why you are writing. We are not trying to be deceptive here, so let them know you have a sample. Also we target Home Depot, because they have the product in there system already. Albeit is in the Canadian system they can still access it. So we push them to just extend the availability from Canada down to us here in the states.
As for them wondering why so many so soon..we all got samples and are following up with them. Remember just becasue you are a share holder, you are still to them a "Customer" I would not say out right that you hold shares, and if they want to imply you are no big deal. So again let them know that you have a free sample or that its available in your area, but if it was at the Home Depot it would be more convenient for you.
