I want to help, but, I don't have any mailing list that I can send.

Can I send it to your mailing list?:D

Now, that's not funny.
That's only one email address.

Let's see...
How about your customer/clients/prospects list?
Could that be "mailing list"?

Send that to me and I'll help you spread that virus of yours:D
