Hello. My name is Masataka, , a photo editor of Japanese news magazine, "Courrier Japan."
We are a bi-weekly Editorial Magazine (circulation is about 95,000) and featuring variety of news around the world. (A detailed description of our magazine is cited below. For your
information.)

In our up-coming issue, we are focusing on 5 years after September 11. Once coming across the story on NY Times' "Annie's List," we became deeply concerning to publish the article. Through publishing the article in Japanese, we would love to share sympathy for Anna with Japanese audience.

Along with the article, we would like to publish a picture. Could you please give us permission to publish a picture? Looking through the Web Site, we have picked two pictures that I attach on this message. We really appreciate if you can send us scan of the images. (Hi-Resolution scans are really appreciated.)


If you have any question, please let me know.

Thanks in advance,
I am looking forward talking to you soon.

Best Regards,
Masataka


About us,
We, Kodansha LTD., has just launched a new news magazine "Courrier Japon" on November 17, 2005.

The magazine is made up of Japanese-translated articles and graphics selected from foreign press all over the world. And the categories we deal with are of great variety such as Science,
Money, Gourmet, Multi Media, Business, Voyage, Culture let alone global news.

The unique way of news reporting is just as same as Courrier International (France),
which originated and consolidated its own news-reporting style. Courrier International is well-known as high quality and reliable news magazine in France. We have already signed to establish an exclusive partnership with them.

Please note that we are not a Japanese-translated edition of Courrier International, but a news magazine of our own selection.

The publication is made up of 90 pages and circulation is around 95.000.
The price is JPY480 (about USD4.5).
