Dear Arlene,

Unfortunately, amidst the excitement of receiving the invitation I seem to have misplaced it. I will do my best to locate it, but I am doubtful that it will turn up as I have spent many hours in search already. I even called the company that picks up my garbage, but they were unwilling to look for the letter. It was a white sheet of paper, in an envelope, inviting me to become a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

I am confused by your most recent letter. You have confirmed that I received an invitation but tell me that there is no record that I was invited – implying that there is a mistake in your records. Did you lose your copy of my invitation as well? What a coincidence! Regretfully, I do not think I can be much help to you here, in Victoria, as I am not very familiar with your record keeping system. Have you looked in all your filing cabinets?

I understand that it would make things simpler for you if I sent you my copy of the invitation, but as I outline above, that is not possible.

I am still very excited about joining the Academy and I wish you the best of luck clarifying this matter. If I can be of any further assistance, please let me know.

Thank you for your timely response; I appreciate your apology.

Sincerely,

Jeremy David
