Hi,
I am writing from a public relations company that looks after restaurants + hotels across Miami, and New York. Please can you provide me with the editor’s contact details for the site Eye On Miami in order to keep them informed of activities at our clients venues.
Kindest,

Hello.
My name is Amy. I’m a producer for DIY, the Do-It-Yourself Network. I work on a show called Desperate Landscapes. We help homeowners fix up their front yards to be on par with others on the block.
We’re coming to Miami early next year and are looking for homeowners to feature on the show. We need young, fun, hard-working homeowners in need of a landscape transformation.
We bring all the tools and materials necessary to fix up the front yard. The homeowner brings personality and sweat equity.
I know this isn’t quite your beat, but I thought since you’re someone connected to the Miami-area, you’d have lots of friends to share this news with to help us find homeowners.
You can find more information on our website jaytv.net or go online to http://www.diynetwork.com/desperatelandscapes to watch full episodes of the show.
Many thanks,
Amy

My company, LARC Technical Institute, offers free computer repair to the South Florida community. So far, only one news agency, Univision, has investigated and proven that we are offering a legitimately free service. Univision interviewed me and several students and are close to airing their interview with us, but we want to do more in order to reach all of South Florida. Our company information, along with our free computer repair service offerings, can be found at our website… http://www.larctech.com We would love to be featured by your blog as a company that is working to help the community.
