Magazine Interview

[rodriguezequal 3]

A man posted this in the general Lapband and no one was replying so I thought I would help him and post it in here...

Hi

I hope you don’t mind me posting like this, but I wondered if any of you might be able to help.

To introduce myself, my name is Henry Austin and I am a North American Correspondent for Look magazine in the UK. Please see our website at www. Look.co.uk

We are a large weekly women’s magazine, similar in style to People in North America and we pride ourselves on ensuring the welfare of people who are good enough to entrust us with their stories and experiences.

My editors have asked me to find a young lady between the ages of 19 and 31 who has lost a large amount of weight after having a lap band. While maybe slightly unrealistic they asked for about 250lbs. We were hoping it might be possible to interview them and produce a feature for our magazine.

Please rest assured that if someone decided to go ahead, everything would be treated with the utmost care and sensitivity. They would remain in control of the procedure throughout and I would not do anything without your prior agreement. As with everyone I write about, I would also guarantee to read everything back to you before publication to ensure both accuracy and your happiness with the piece.

While I’m sure it is not a prime consideration, it is my duty to inform you that we do compensate everyone for their time in speaking with us or indeed make a donation to the charity of church of their choice. This is usually $1000, although this can rise at the editor’s discretion.

If at any point you have any queries please by all means e-mail me at henry.austin@yahoo.ca and I will be happy to answe them for you.

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and may I wish you all, all the best for the future.

Kind regards

Henry
