Bit of an usual request.

I have a model originally done in Maya (which I don't have) and try as I might I can't get it to open in blender. I've tried using other free programs to convert it. I managed to get it to .obj but when I imported that into blender it threw an error.

I'm hoping someone with Maya can open it and export it into a format blender will import. 

It would be much appreciated and I'd be willing to do a favour in return, maybe a model or a sprite or something.

If you can help, let me know and I'll send the model.

Thanks
