Hi gang, my name's Greg Pratt, I'm a journalist in Victoria, British Columbia. You can go to http://gregpratt freelancer.blogspot.com/ to see some of my work (note that first word is all one word, delete the space).

I am writing an article about machinists for a website for youth and am in desperate need of a teacher to interview for the story. Anyone interested in being in the piece?

Here's the snag: I would need to get quotes from you via email, not phone, as I'll be working out of the house all week, and also would need the quotes asap, within a day or so. Anyone interested in this extremely last-minute request?

Think of the fame! The glory! Or, at least the chance to blab away a bit about something you probably care a good deal about.

Please email me directly: gpratt at islandnet dot com asap and I can send some questions your way.

Many thanks in advance, and thanks for taking the time to read this.

Cheers,
Greg
