Respect please
Dear Perkins
I am contacting you in relation to a publishers cricket match between an Indian Publishers eleven, and a rest of the World publishers eleven, to be held on Sunday 19th April at the West Hampstead cricket club.
Your name has been given to me by Richard Charkin who suggests you may be of sufficient talent and interest to be considered for the WORLD team. Please let me know if you are available to play that day. It will be a 20 overs each game starting at 10.30 and as we have a sponsor there will be a tea and drinks. We expect it all to be over by 2.30 as many participants have to go to receptions etc in the evening.
At this stage, all I need is an indication if you will be available and a few lines on you previous cricket experience, and whether you are a bowler, batsman, wicket keeper, or none of the above !
A final selection will be made by the Mon. 30th March. The day is promoted by the British council and the London Book fair, and we expect some trade press coverage.
I have the dubious honour of captaining the ROW team, and look forward hearing from you in this regard.
My best regards,
Ray McLennan,
