Dear Mr./Ms. (last name of reporter),

It was a pleasure to meet with you on (day of meeting). I appreciate you taking so much time out of your busy schedule to chat with me.

As I mentioned, pulmonary hypertension is a chronic illness that affects the heart and lungs. Many people may have pulmonary hypertension and not know it due to improper diagnosis. Though there is no cure for pulmonary hypertension, with increasing research and new treatments, there is hope.

That is why media coverage is so important. Your story on pulmonary hypertension could educate countless people about the illness. With earlier diagnosis and the promise of new treatments, lives will be saved. I hope that you will take this opportunity to share the story of pulmonary hypertension with your audience.

Thank you once again for your time and interest.

Sincerely,
(your name) (your telephone number)
