I was reading your African Sports blog and I was really delighted and interested with the work you are doing so far. I am starting a new African sports website which will focus on African sports news, African players all over the world and also content on Premier League and Champions League. I would really love to talk to you about some type of partnership where you could come on as a writer and we can discuss compensation of some type. I would really love to have you on board and I hope you can spare some time to discuss this opportunity. Please e-mail me on skllz2005@hotmail or call me on 850-339-9983. Thank you very much and I look forward to hearing from you.
