Hi. My name's Katrina Bishop and I'm currently working for the Evening Standard newspaper, helping to recruit case studies to feature for our series of articles on the budget.

We need someone who is from Greater London and has been made redundant in the last year but is struggling to get another job.

You would have to be willing to talk about your finances - but only in broad terms (broad amount they live off - could be a range; broad break down of monthly outgoings).

After arranging a time with you, we would call you next week and do a quick telephone interview and arrange a time for a photographer to visit you.

If you are at all interested, or would like some more information please call me in the office on 0207 938 6918 or email me on katrina.j.bishop@googlemail.com

As we are on deadline, it would be great if you could get in touch as soon as possible if at all interested.

Thanks so much.
