Interview Request Letter

The following is a copy of the e-mail sent to media relations at Oakland University. Yes, it's very similar to the e-mail I sent directly to Dr. Russi. Hopefully this will get the ball rolling in setting up an interview with him.

Hi!

My name is Erik Anderson, I'm the General Manager of Oakland University's Campus Radio Station WXOU. I'm also host of The Erik Anderson Program which airs Mondays from 11am to 1pm on WXOU. I wanted to send an email to openly invite Dr. Gary Russi to appear on my radio program. I've never interviewed him and I think it would be great to have him on the air. I don't have any pre-set agenda to discuss and I'm open to discussing / promoting whatever he wants to talk about on the show. I'll be open, honest, and fair with him as long as he does the same in return.

Please contact me to set this up. Let me know what I can do to help make this happen. I can be reached via this email address or by phone. My campus extension is 4324.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,
Erik
