I get quite a lot of emails asking for help ranging from letters of support to requests to discuss ideas. But actually they usually sound like:
Dear Ruth, I really want to work in Greenland but it's a condition of my funding that I include local people + institutes. None of whom I know. Please can you share all your contacts + ideas with me so I can go and do the research you also want to do using the ideas we've discussed together, without sharing any of my funding with you?
