How do i use LinqToExcel to get cell values contained in the excel file

I am using this code to retrieve the receipient name and receipient number but the recpt.receipient_name and recpt.receipient_number are null.

The excel table is of this format

Name Number

andrew 1223

james 12223

dave 454545

//select names from the excel file with specified sheet namevar receipients = from n in messages.Worksheet<BulkSmsModel>(sheetName)                  select n;foreach (var recpt in receipients){    BulkSms newRecpt = new BulkSms();    if (recpt.receipient_number.Equals("") == true || recpt.receipient_number == 0)    {        continue;    }    newRecpt.receipient_name = recpt.receipient_name;    newRecpt.receipient_number = Int32.Parse(recpt.receipient_number.ToString());    IBsmsRepo.insertReceipient(newRecpt);    IBsmsRepo.save();}
