                                        Wikinews - “The free news source that you can write.” Brian McNeil. Project Bureaucrat & Accredited Reporter. Email: brian.mcneil@wikinewsie.org Phone: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To Whom It May Concern, The bearer of this letter, Mr Matthew Edwards, has agreed to report on the 2010 Tour of California for Wikinews, the news-based sister project to Wikipedia. This on a freelance basis. It would be greatly appreciated if you can facilitate Mr Edwards' access to competitors, and otherwise-reserved-for-the-press areas, within the Tour's managed facilities. I have every reason to believe that, whilst independent of Wikinews, and the Wikimedia Foundation, Mr Edwards will comport himself professionally and bring neither us, nor yourselves, into disrepute. Mr Edwards has, temporarily, been provided with the email address matthew.edwards@wikinewsie.org for any issues relating to his Tour coverage. I can be contacted via email at brian.mcneil@wikinewsie.org, or phoned on the above number. Please be understanding of the fact that I am UK-based, and may have issues returning calls in a timely fashion. Faithfully, Brian McNeil Wikinews, “Facts don't cease to be facts, but news ceases to be news”.
