Buna, Andrei!
Numele meu este Andreea si sunt studenta la ASE, Informatica Economica. Imi fac lucrarea de licenta in ASP.NET, C#. La un moment dat, m-am impotmolit. Crezi ca ma poti ajuta, te rog? As vrea sa iau legatura cu tine si sa discutam, daca ai putin timp liber. Am vazut ca esti o persoana foarte desteapta si priceputa in ceea ce face: programare si de aceea mi-am luat inima in dinti si am apelat la tine.
Ti-am scris in romana, pentru ca banuiesc ca esti roman, dupa nume. Adresa mea de email este nevena_cs_86@yahoo.com.
Te rog, ajuta-ma pentru ca am mare nevoie.

Iti multumesc mult anticipat, Andreea.
