Dear Linguists,

I am a linguist working at the Melbourne office of the Lonely Planet publishing 
Company in the phrasebook section.

We are interested in producing a phrasebook of Eritrean and Tigrinya. 
We require someone fluent in one - or even two - of the above languages 
to write a phrasebook, or section of a phrasebook, for us. We would 
prefer if the author has either Eritrean or Tigrinya as a first 
language.

If anyone with the prerequisite language skills is interested could they 
please contact me. Of course, suitable payment will be made.

Thank you,

Peter D'Onghia
