Title: We need this guy!

Quick grammar lesson: Contractions function by shortening a word group through the omission of letters, and the omitted letters are indicated by an apostrophe. Thus "did not" becomes "didn't", "has not" becomes "hasn't", etc. Also note that a question mark replaces the period (full stop) at the end of an interrogative sentence. There is no need for a comma and you ought to capitalise the letter leading the next sentence, even if it is a fragment.
