Here's my vote for the contact's template.  Putting the geography first 
has the cognitive advantage of familiarity.  It's a relatively small 
detail though.

Apart from the the individual's contact format, I recommend that the 
contact process be (very slightly) re-worked.  Specifically, provide a 
unique email address for each;
    1) 'General Inquiries' (e.g. info@documentfoundation.org)
    2) 'Press and Media Contacts' (e.g. press@documentfoundation.org)

The benefit is that this raises the profile of the whole Press (with a 
capital 'p') ecosystem.  The cost looks to me as being trivial.  You 
probably know better.

One last thing.  In the following paragraph:

The phrase:

> *To receive a reply in time,*

implies an already-established deadline.  If, on the other hand, we are 
letting people know the fastest practical way to get a response, the 
following phrases are more precise (at least for colloquial American 
English speakers):

> *For the promptest response,*
> *For the quickest response,*
> *For the most timely reply,*

etc.

hope this helps,
