Hi there coach Dawsey,

I hope this message finds you well. Its NiShawna Williams here, the older sister of DJ Matthews. I have an assignment coming up in one of my Sports Management prerequisite courses. We are assigned to complete an interview of a coach at any level, high school, colligate or professional. After reading up on your story, I would love to get the opportunity to interview you, not only for this assignment but to gain knowledge in the sporting industry. I am fully aware of your time commitment as our Seminoles began to enter into college football season. But if time permits I would love the opportunity. Thank you for your consideration, it is greatly appreciated.
