Good morning,

In my search for a linguist specializing in current slang or
vernacular, I came across web site. I’d love access to your member
list so that I may share the below opportunity. If that is not
possible, I’d appreciate any referrals that you are able to give. Our
client prefers an expert in the Los Angeles area, but we are open to
reviewing the credentials of all interested parties.

know of any qualified colleague(s) who may be interested in this
