Where can I find angel investors that I can sumbit my business plan to online?

I need some group that I can present to online. I would hope the entire process could be handled online. I have no problem meeting a group in person as long as I don’t have to give some presentation. I’m not a professional businessman, I just have a good idea.
You aren’t going to get ANY investor to do everything online. And anyone that has a lick of intelligence that is going to invest will require to see your business plan and such. Eventually you will have to meet – I know I would insist on it so I can see the person’ eyes when we sign the papers.
Business 2.0 http://money.cnn.com/2006/02/28/magazines/business2/angelinvestor/index.htm has a very good article on angel investors, what they typically look for, what kind of investments they support, etc.
And if you will deal with angel investors — you will have to make a presentation, even an elevator pitch. You need to practice your short presentation speech
You may want to go and pitch your ideas where investors gather. Here are some places where angel investors come and those looking for funding can come and pitch their business plans. Be sure to have a strong business plan and describe what makes your business idea stand apart:
