Dear sir,

I have long enjoyed your fiction, having read and re-read too many wonderful titles to list here. (I do maintain a list of all the books I have ever read, on which your name holds a prominent place and is frequently repeated.)

I am now thoroughly enjoying your historical account of the Battle of Waterloo, and I wanted to tell you that I would be most interested in buying any further historical works you might have time to write. Of course, if you prefer to finish the story of Uhtred, I would enjoy that too.

I think though that there must have been some trepidation in releasing a non-fiction work after having written so much successful fiction. I wanted you to know that I for one think you a masterful storyteller regardless of genre, and I eagerly await your next title whatever the topic may be…

Very respectfully,  your fervent admirer,

Bradford Walter Belles.
