    I'm just wondering if and when you're able to get round to do this interview?

Mr Mann

My Questions are as follows

1. Where are the Nationals being played?
2. Are there suitable sized fields at this location?
3. How many teams are participating?
4. Who are the defending champions?
5. Are teams full 18 player teams?
6. Who are the sponsors of this event?
7. Are there any plans to have a competition similar to that of the NFL (with six or seven teams) in the future?

Thanks for your time

        G’Day guys,
    Patrick,
    E-mail will be easiest (I’m usually on PC until 2-3 am every night), as Kevin mentioned,
    I’m flat out as I also organize the tournament itself, though would be happy to answer any 
    questions when I can get to them.

    Mr. Gillett,

    We would be happy to accommodate your request. Due to the immediate nature of your need, I
    have forwarded this correspondence to Rich Mann, the president of US Footy.

    While I can't guarantee an interview with Mr. Mann, due to the current demands on his time in
    dealing with the final details of a tournament that will draw over 1000 players, men and
    women, from the United States and Canada, we will do our best to answer whatever questions you
    might have. The participating players span four divisions of men and one division of women.

    If Mr. Mann is too busy, we will do our best to let you know in short order. If that happens
    to be the case, please feel free to forward any questions to me via e-mail, and I will
    endeavor to answer or get answers to all of your questions.

    Best,

    Kevin M. Smith
    Media Relations
    USAFL

    My name is Patrick Gillett. I'm a freelance reporter writing on wikinews (en.wikinews.org).

     

    I would like to request an interview with someone regarding next weekends nationals. Since I'm
    in Australia, I can do it over the phone or by email (or other on line method)

     

    If the interview can be arranged asap, it would be greatly appreciated.

Comments by reviewer: Seems fine-Rich Mann is obviously not a very talkative person on the old email! The title is shorter now; but I wouldn't want it much longer!
