Letter from JK Rowling

[shagufta_naazpk2000]

Hi everyone

I'm from Karachi, Pakistan. Harry Potter has many devoted fans in 
this city and like many of them I had pre-booked a copy of the 
Deathly Hallows.

The bookstore I had booked from organized a launch party, 
unfortunatley the event got cancelled at the last mnute due to a 
bomb scare (fact of life if you live in Karachi)

So why am I rambling about it? Because last week the bookshop called 
and told me to collect my letter from JK Rowling.

Apparently she heard about the misfortune and wrote to the Public 
Relations manager of the store - and they gave all the prebookers a 
copy of the letter. 

Pakistan is a very small market for English books, in all of Karachi 
there may be a few thousand Harry Potter fans - out which fewer 
still pre-ordered the book. Out of the millions of fans we don't 
really count for much. 

But still she took the time to write a note and express her sympathy 
and her thanks. I thought that was amazingly sweet of her. I'm 
impressed.

cheers
