Dear Tony,
 
I am delighted to inform you that your book Working with Suicidal Individuals has been highly commended in the Psychiatry category of the 2011 BMA Medical Book Awards. This means that you are shortlisted to win first prize in this category, and are invited to the awards ceremony.

Congratulations!

The ceremony will take place on Wednesday 14th September at BMA House in London, starting at 5.30pm. Please let me know if you would like to attend, and I will register this with the event organizer, and send you more details. I appreciate that since you are in Australia, this may not prove possible, but our commissioning editor will be attending to collect your award if necessary.
 
With best wishes,

But guess what!
About a month ago I booked the flights to be in the UK from September 6th to 17th!
Is this divine intervention?
Or just plain divine?

I will have to make sure I cry at the right time and have a long list of thank you’s to say!
