Dear Miss Yekta,

Ba'd az salaam, I have been benefitting from Aineha every now and then. It may be of interest to you that my translation of Symphony of the Dead has made it to some sort of "Top One-Hundred" among novels published in Britain in 2007. It may make it to the "Top Twenty" if it gets enough votes. With this e-mail, I am forwarding that of my publishers. Disregard the first paragraph. At the end oo the second (the relevant) paragraph, there is a link to a website where one can vote for the book. I hope Aineha will continue to be successful.

Ba ehteram,

Lotfali Khonji

Dear Lotfi,

Best wishes to you and Shadab for the new year. Below is the email I sent you about Spread the Word. Symphony has a few comments, but the more the better.

Best regards

Richard

 

On another matter, regarding Symphony, it has been selected as one of 100 for a World Book Day programme called 'Spread the Word'. The 100 are considered hidden gems and book clubs and libraries are being encouraged to read these books and vote on them. The 20 with the most votes by February will then be put to a panel of judges. You can get more information at the website address below, and please tell everyone you know to 'Spread the Word' and take a look at Symphony of the Dead and vote for it if they feel so inclined.

Dear Richard,
I hope you and the rest of the family have had a good Christmas and will have an exellent New Year. You remember you informed me that  Symphony had made it to the Top One-hundred and that it might make it to the Top Twenty if it gets enough votes. I have been forwarding your e-mail (incorporating a website for voting) to a number of other people. However, the e-mail is no longer accessible and I am too ignorant of computer technology to retrieve it. The easiest way out would be for you to transmit that e-mail to me once again. I believe there is still some time left for voting. I hope Symphony's will be a success story despite problems.

With best wishes for 2008,
Lotfi
