An even less subtle example would be press releases to journalists and news / editorial desks. e.g., from the Star Tribune: "Provide us with your contact information and your press release, either as plain text, or as a PDF attachment. Your contact information won't be published but is required in case we need to get in touch with you. Please send an email with your name, phone number, contact email address and your press release (either as the content of the email or as an attachment to the email) to: [email protected]. Please specify the topic of your press release in the subject line of your email."
