Here is example text you could use, but use any text you like:

Kotsengkuba,
A lot of trackbacks to this blog seem to get caught by Akismet and sometimes I miss them, because I get SO much spam that looks like trackbacks but really aren’t trackbacks.

Could the reason for the low number of entries be partly due to the rule that participants must be legal US residents?
I’d love to take part, but I don’t qualify because of this rule. It’s a great contest.
cheers

online money maker,
Yes it could be. However, I don’t want to lose my business because of a contest and opening the contest up to everyone could be a real problem. contest laws in some countries are VERY difficult to abide by.
I should probably write about this sometime in the near future.
I emailed you too, but just a reminder to count me in
Blogged your contest. Here’s the link. Good luck with the new site!
