Hi Katia,
My name’s Alina, and I am a journalism student at Griffith University, based in Australia.
I’m contacting you to request a Skype interview with you for a feature article I’m writing. The article is going to be comparing the perspectives of western expats who reside in wealthy Muslim countries based in the UAE to those of expats from the same western background who live in developing third world Muslim countries. I am pitching this feature article to “The Courier-Mail”, a popular Australian daily tabloid newspaper.
Reading some of your blog entries, I can tell you’re a very insightful and reflective person. Because of this I would find your perspective a really valuable one to include in my article and would be much honoured if you’d agree to let me conduct a Skype interview with you at any time in the coming week.
Of course, if you agree to the interview I will be mentioning the name of your blog, as well as your first and last name in my article. I would also need a contact phone number from you to give to both my journalism professor and the editor of “The Courier-Mail” for fact checking purposes
(It will not be leaked to anyone else).
If you would like, I’d also be happy to email you a copy of my finished feature article before sending it off for potential publication for your approval of quotes I will have included from you and how I will have written about you.
Greetings! My name is Onin, Podcast Program Assistant for James Thomas, host and creator of the expat and immigrant focused podcast Four Seas One Family. James is an American who now lives in Taipei.
Here in Four Seas One Family, we want to build bridges and not walls. In the podcast we tend to highlight how foreign nationals adjusted to just about anything from the countries that they are not a native of. Our goal is to take out any hesitation or negativity and let listeners know that people regardless of nation, have a lot more in common than they think.
I’d also like you to know that we’re currently looking for more people for James to interview in Four Seas One Family and thought you would make an excellent guest for the show. I came across your blog while searching for expat bloggers and ended up not stopping reading through your posts. That said, I would like to formally invite you to join our podcast for a short interview. Don’t worry, it won’t be like any newsroom type of interview. Think of it as having a chat with good friends and just sharing your experiences.
I do hope you would consider being a guest at our show. Your experiences while living overseas can help those who are thinking about living abroad or those who are already living abroad find happiness while on their life journey.If you agree to be on the show you can either contact me through my e-mail or you can go directly to the scheduler in the link

Hello, Katia,
Notre amie d’il y a .., 40 ans !
Exactement: l’été 1981,
Avec Alan Parson’s Project, Eye in the Sky, nos baignades dans la carrière désaffectée, découverte par Gabriel Dahan, à cheval !
Gabriel, je l’ai revu quelques fois : il est installé à la Baule, où j’ai eu un appartement pendant une vingtaine d’années, et c’est toujours un mec super bien.
Cela me ferait plaisir d’avoir de tes nouvelles.
Je t’embrasse.
Olivier RONIN
