</p><blockquote><p>Subject: Good Start!</p>
<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>To introduce myself, I&#8217;m [redacted] and I found the link to your blog through a RT for <a title="The Postgrad Google Wave Post" href="http://www.the-postgrad.com/2009/what-google-wave-can-do-for-you/" target="_self">Google Wave</a> (surprise, surprise).  As requested, I RT and left a comment on one of the pages.</p>
<p>I just wanted to email to let you know that I think you have a good concept for a site. In fact, I wish there were more sources or blogs like this when I first started out.   I graduated from college over 5 years ago and I&#8217;m currently half way through bschool and almost 5 years into a job in a professional services firm.  I&#8217;ve learned quite a bit over the past few years and feel lucky to have found a mentor in my current boss.   However, there are definitely days when I question my career/financial/life decisions, wish I had an additional sounding board, or learned something I wish I could share with others who are in the same situation or position.</p>
<p>I think your site is a great vehicle for that and more.  The twenties/thirties are a great time for figuring out where you&#8217;re going and what you can be &#8211; and I think we all have a lot we can learn from each other.  If there&#8217;s anything I can contribute to your site, I would be more than glad to collaborate.</p>
<p>Thanks and keep up the good work!</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>[redacted]</p></blockquote>
<p>This was a great email to wake up to.  Thanks for the word of encouragement!  Even though we&#8217;ve written less than a week&#8217;s worth of posts, I can go forth in full confidence knowing that there is a need to be filled.  I&#8217;ll probably come back to this email when things get dry and I just can&#8217;t seem to string together the words to finish anything.  We&#8217;re definitely open to guest contributors so if you have something you feel would be perfect for our blog, email it to us at <a title="The Postgrad Contact Email" href="mailto:contact@the-postgrad.com" target="_blank">contact[at]the-postgrad.com</a>!  Please post your article into the body of your email as sorting through attachments can get messy!</p>
