Hey Everyone, That is looking pretty good. My only suggestion is that we add on one stipulation in case this is not the person we are looking for. Something to the effect of: "If you are not the same [name] that worked on this book, we would still appreciate a reply so that we can make note of it and refrain from disturbing you again in the future." Then if we verify that a certain address corresponds to someone who just happens to have the same name as the person we are looking for, we can add that information to the contact thread so that anyone else looking into the issue does not stumble into the wrong individual. I think we have found the right people but I would like to add a request for a response even if they are not the ones we are looking for because that may increase our chances of confirming or denying the information we have. Besides, I am sure we don't want to keep sending letters to the same person if he is not the guy we are looking for. Anyway, that is my two cents on the issue but other than adding a sentence or two to cover that, I think the letter looks good. LWhistorian __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
