Hi Mike,

Can you tell me a little more about what is being 
tested? It might give me a better idea of who 
might be qualified. I understand if this 
information is not available but it would definitely help.

I was wondering if you would be able to assist me 
in locating a QA Tester that is visually impaired 
for a role supporting the FCC in DC. This 
position will be very unique and a key role 
within an excellent initiative the FCC is working 
on. Please let me know if you would happen to 
know someone that would be a good fit for this 
type of role and any help will be greatly 
appreciated. If I may be of any service to you, I 
will gladly offer my assistance.

Thank you in advance for your time and I look forward to your response.
