From: Name withheld, London:

Dear Sirs,

I am a trainee journalist and I am writing an article about movie symbols. I wounder if you could help me with this topic? I would really appreciate it if you have the opportunity to answer my questions, and if you have the time I would appreciate a quite immediately answer (because my deadline is on this Wednesday).

These are my questions:

• Some would say that oranges is a symbol of death in the Godfather movies, do we have any other general movie symbols?

• Or does each movie have their own symbols?

• What would you say are the most famous movie symbol?

• Which are the most well known movie symbols?

• Why do you think movie makers include symbols in their movies?

• What would you say are the best movie symbol?

• Do you think the audience understand all of the movie symbols?

Thank you so much for your time.
