Dear David,

I agree with all you say.
But, I had only two minutes to explain the situation.
I was very nervous and the radio guy was not
sympathetic at all.

I just wanted to make them interested  because only if
they are interested there was a chance that they will ask
more questions and I'll have more time to speak.

I guess I failed.

Maybe I did wrong, maybe it was a bad idea
