      Kudos to Yahoo for supporting women in business! I am a huge believer in women in business as a whole, and I try to contribute to help out in any way that I can.

      Currently, I’m an official Microsoft ambassador and right now we’re really trying to scale up our connections with influential bloggers like yourself. I’d love to share with you some of the stuff we’ve been doing in the last couple months to help women entrepreneurs; we’re really committed to providing all the necessary resources to help women start, grow and expand their business.

      We just wrapped up a women’s entrepreneurial tour across the US called “Vision To Venture;” the response and turn-out was great!

      I’d really love your take on these offerings we have right now; I would have contacted you via email but I didn’t know which was the best way to reach you.

      Thank you so much, I hope I didn’t overstep my bounds by directly contacting you. Definitely get back to me if I’ve piqued your interest– I’d love to share more info with you.

      Best,
