  1. Hi

    At www.preacquaint.com we let people acquaint others with their experiences and views about life. People share their interesting stories. They tell us about their work, struggle, problems and achievements in different professions and fields. We have discovered you and we hope that any struggle you may have had, achievements, hobbies, skills and passion could be highlighted. The core point that we want to focus on in this interview is that you tell us something in your life that can be interesting to others.

    We would like to feature an article or story about human trafficking on our website www.preacquaint.com. We need your permission to send you the email interview questionnaire.

    Thanks and Regards
    Riaz Hussain
