Dear Mrs Lennier,

It will not surprise you to learn that I do not intend to provide an article for 'Countryfile' this month. I anticipate that a new editor will be in post by the next publication date and I have agreed with her to sumit a column on the village's business community and interests.

I trust you have been satisfied with my contributions and I wish you all the best in future.

Yours sincerely,

Camilla Corkerham

Dear Mrs Corkerham,

I remain in post. If you wish to submit an article for Countryfile in the August edition of the Harbinger I shall require it by noon tomorrow (30 July) for editing. I would be appreciative if any submission you make could be better researched and less blandly banal than previous installments.

I see no reason why tonight's vote should change my submission requirements or publication principles.

Yours sincerely,

Francesca Lennier (Mrs)

Mrs Lennier (although I do not see why you still use that title as you have been divorced for over five years),

I am astonished that you have chased me for a submission for Countryfile! I said I would not do it and I will not. I never wanted to anyway and know nothing about the topic. I only hope we can find a way of improving this paper for the good of the village.

You have not seen the end of us and I will be back writing a column. But not while you are editor!

Yours sincerely,

Camilla Corkerham
