Journalist looking for a story.

Hello Jimmy,

Hope you're both well. You might remember I spoke to you a while back for an article for Best magazine. I'm not sure if it's been published yet as they contacted me just last week and asked me to send it through again, so it might be that it's due to come out in the next few weeks. Sorry for the delay! As soon as I find out when it will be going into the mag, I'll let you know.

I'm actually contacting you about another article I've approached to write, this time for Yours magazine. They're interested in the whole issue of grandparents separated from their grandchildren, but they're looking for quite a specific case study. I'll give you their wish list and we'll see if it draws any comparisons with any stories you may have come across.

They're looking to speak to a grandmother who became separated from her grandchildren because of a marriage break-up, but was then reunited with them at a later date and now has a loving relationship with them. They would like the grandchild to be over 18, to avoid any issues with identification.

I did think of your own story, but I'm not sure if the fact that you'll soon be in Best will cause a problem for them. If you can't think of anyone else in your organisation, I will suggest Margaret to them as a possible candidate and see what they think.

Hope this is okay with you. Please drop me a line when you've had a chance to think if you know of anyone suitable, either by return email or by giving me a call on the numbers below.
Many thanks and I'll look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,

Elaine.
