Ooooh...I HATE calling people I've never spoken to - I hate calling people I've only spoken to a couple of times. In my first job out of college, I had to make a lot of media calls (I'm in PR) and I had a terrible time making myself pick up that phone.
I still have that problem - sometimes I don't even want to answer the phone, esp. at work, because I don't know who will be on the other end and it stresses me out.
Just take a deep breath - or two or three - but don't hyperventilate :) and do the best you can. Keep it as short as possible!
Good luck!
