Hi Mr. Cornwell,
This email isn’t to ask for you to read a manuscript of mine as unfortunately i never really tried the whole story-writing thing.
I am emailing to pass on a simple thankyou.
I am sure you receive and have received many of these sort of messages.
I am a 23 years old English young man, and started reading your Sharpe series just over 10 years ago now.
When my Grandad passed i took a bundle of his old books and four of them happened to be part of this series.
Coincidentally it was Sharpe’s Tiger.
Since then, i have been searching in charity shops to try and find second hand versions of your old paperback copies (the one depicting oil paintings of certain battles on the front as these were the ones my grandad had)
My love for these books is so strong that last year on my 23rd birthday i got a small 1800 Baker rifle tattooed on my arm.
I wish you all the very best and I’m sincerely looking forward to reading your future material.
Kindest regards,
Sam Crawford.
