Sumo Fan Magazine, like all magazines, could
not and would not exist without its readers. To
that end, anything you think we should do, you
think we should cease to do or you think we should
never even think about doing, we want to know. Let
us know the aspects of SFM you like – articles, the
like of which, you’d like to read more of and articles
you'd never like to see again. Or, just tell us what
you want to say about sumo – we want to hear your
voice, too. As the logo at the top of our front page
says we are by the fans – FOR the fans – that's you.
We welcome your comments and will be featuring
some letters received in our soon-to-come "Letters"
feature. We may even be offering tokens of our
appreciation – sumo-related, of course, to a "Letter of
the Month". So, if you have something to say please
mail us at fan_liaison_director@sumofanmag.com.
