Received this message from an internet acquaintance. 

Just had to pen this down: this is not how you pitch.

Sin #1: Please try to create a conversation with me

Sin #2: Journalists/writers dont owe it to you to run your story.

Sin #3: Showing me a website which says nothing, and expects me to run a story with that? Are you kidding me? (And to think that i bothered to reply him)

Sin #4: I always subscribe to this: if you need the press to help you get some traction, and if you are focusing on all your efforts on the press, something is wrong with your product.

Sin #5: “Request you to do the needful”, what does this even mean? 

Urghhh.
