Here are some examples of that email;
Dear Ms. Sozmen,
Although this is short notice, I came across something new regarding the earth, the world population's excess use of energy, and a creative initiative to reflect on this problem: Earth Hour.
Earth Hour is based in Sydney, Australia but it is a worldwide initiative to save electricity for one whole hour. On March 31, 2012, at 8:30 pm local time, people throughout the world are turning off their lights and other electrical gadgets for one hour.
With this, Earth Hour's YouTube channel created the I Will if You Will platform, which allows participants to create "bids" regarding green initiatives and their participants. Users can log on with their YouTube, Facebook or Twitter accounts and "accept" the challenge. Once the number of users have reach the challenge quota, the bid proposer will act on their offers.
I believe that Earth Hour is an incredible global celebration in order to save and reflect on ones energy use.
For more questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
Sincerely, Melissa Assa

Another example,

Hi, Chuck.
I hope you remember speaking with me on the phone a couple of weeks ago about my client, Ritualwell.org, the website that offers innovative Jewish rituals that are rooted in tradition. You told me that you would like to interview Ritualwell's editor, Rabbi Roni Handler, for a possible story on your blog and perhaps for Gay Voices at Huff Post.

You will recall that we originally spoke about Passover rituals that were inclusive for the LGBTQ community. That is still a relevant topic, of course, but when I spoke with Roni she suggested that you might also be interested in writing about the entire LGBTQ section that Ritualwell features. One of the more interesting rituals they offer is a Coming Out Ceremony, which you can see here in their "Coming Out" section: http://www.ritualwell.org/categories/397. And there is a section on "Gender Tranisitioning," which you will find here: http://www.ritualwell.org/categories/398.

Ritualwell is gearing up for wedding season, when they get a lot of requests and suggestions for innovative wedding rituals, gay and straight. Since same-sex marriage is so much in the news of late, Roni thought that this story angle might also be of interest to you. The wedding section is called "Sanctifying Intimate Relationships," and you will see it here: http://www.ritualwell.org/categories/10.

Roni is available to speak with you by phone sometime tomorrow afternoon (Monday, April 2), as well as on Tuesday, April 3, from 10 to 11 a.m. or anytime after 2:00 p.m. Please let me know if one of these times works for you. I do hope that you are still interested in speaking with Roni. (She loved your piece on Purim, btw.)

Best,
Carlos
