Questions 168-171 refer to the following e-mail.

 

To: Lmaria_bellandini@pweb.net
From: thomasmclaren@delicatessenmag.com
Date: Tuesday, October 2
Subject: Food Photography Article

Dear Ms. Bellandini:

I have some news regarding your article that is scheduled to be published in the next issue of Delicatessen Magazine. — [1] —. Yesterday, we learned that a major advertiser canceled their contract with us, and as a result, we will have to reduce the number of pages in our upcoming issue. This is extremely unfortunate, but we just do not have enough money without these ads to publish the magazine in its current format. — [2] —.

We know that readers have enjoyed reading about your experiences in Italy. 7 [3] #. While your eight—page story about working as a food photographer is excellent, in order to fit in the slimmer issue, it will need to be cut by about thirty percent. Although I sincerely hope you agree to having your article published in our upcoming issue, I will understand if you would rather have the article published in full at a later time. However, I have to let you know that the magazine industry is not always the most stable business, and for this reason, I do not know if there will be space for your story in the future. — [4] —.

Please let me know as soon as possible what you would like to do. Should you agree to edit the story, I will need the new version by Monday.

Best regards,

Thomas McLaren, Editor-in-Chief EI
