Sorry...

Imagine calling a large company and getting their switchboard
operator, now ask to speak directly to the person you are trying to
contact.  You establish voice communication and you start talking.
Quickly and concisely you make your point, you say goodbye, and the
connection is broken.

Does everything have to be email?

If you are trying to contact somebody for the first time and you don't
know their mail address, try the *other* use of the telephone.

All you need is the main number.  The corporate operator should be
able to connect you after to get in.  To get the main number, you can
call information, or you can look it up in the phone book.  If it is
long distance, remember that phone books are available at your local
library in the reference section.
