didn't have any other way to contact you.<br>
<br>
If the only way to make this work is for us to treat you as a Fusion<br>
teacher for this purpose, then that's fine, we can do that, but I<br>
just wanted to make clear that that wasn't the nature of the<br>
request.  I'd definitely prefer to get some other contact info and<br>
continue this discussion outside of Fusion.<br>

> Hi, Lizzie. I'm writing this because I was wondering if I could ask with your help for something that's part of my eighth grade curriculum at my new school. There's a thing called the eighth-grade project at the school I'm going to next year, and the teachers
 there have agreed that it's ok for me to work on the animatic I'd started before, but part of the project includes me needing a mentor, and you're the only person I can think of who can help me in that regard. It won't take a lot on your part, just an hour
 a week at a designated time and place that we can discuss.<br>
