Hey Matt,
I hope you've been enjoying the new and improved Bleacher Report—we're really happy with the feedback we've received so far.
Just thought I'd let you know that next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements, and thus it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.
Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Matt!

Hey Matt, I'm an editor for the Bleacher Report -- that's why I'm always looking over everyone's articles. As for who/whom, I still have to look it up sometimes too. :) Nice job and keep writing!
