		<description>I love the &quot;casual&quot; tip - I am much more apt to respond to a pitch if the person introduces themselves and is brief and open about what they are looking for... 

ie: 

&quot;Hi! I discovered your blog and it is a great fit for a client I have. Would you be interested in doing a review or give-away? Let me know!&quot;

is going to work a lot better on me than...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

:) I delete most press releases... if not all of them. :) And yes - I have a small amount of blogging time each day - and less for emails!
