Dear Gnumeric,
I hope you do not mind me contacting you directly, as I was given your email by a colleague. My name is Dan Fries, and I am a technical copywriter focused covering the open source software community.
I'm reaching out to you today in the hopes of writing for Gnumeric. Is there any availability to contribute to the site as a guest author? I'm not seeking employment nor remuneration, only volunteer work.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Dan
