Forslag til kondolansebrev:

Dear Harriet,

My name is Jon Magne and I have been a great fan of your late husband’s marvelous fantasy series “The Wheel of Time” for almost as long as I can remember. I’m writing to you on behalf of myself and the rest of the members of the Norwegian WoT message board at “The Pattern” - www.tidshjulet.net/forum.

We wish to offer our deepest condolences to you and the rest of your family. Even though we didn’t know him beyond what he wrote, throughhis work James was like a close relative to many of us. His work has influenced and touched so many, and I for one know with certainty that I wouldn’t be the person I am today without him. Our thoughts have gone out to him ever since we learned of his horrible disease and his passing has aggrieved us to no end. However, we’re also proud of his courage and strength-of-will in the face of such a mighty foe. He fought and loved to the end. Surely these are characteristics of a good man and a true inspiration.

Our Robert Jordan is already sorely missed by millions of fans across the world, but we know that you and your family must feel the loss far more overwhelming still. Our small community is a tight-knit one, almost like a small family in and of itself. We have much to be thankful to James for, including bringing us together through his writing, and we also carry with us a great deal of respect for the man that, all though unbeknownst to himself, made a place for us not only in his imagination, but also in a somewhat more real realm. In instances such as this, words do not suffice, but at least we hope they offer some small consolation as we now by this wish to pay our respects to a truly great man in these undoubtedly sad times

Here follows the names of the board members that wished to be mentioned in this official letter:

"Ola Nordmann"
"Kari Nordmann"

Merk at jeg kommer til å bruke mitt fulle navn i brevet, ikke bare "Jon Magne". Jeg vil herved også gjenta min oppfordring om at folk som vil være med på brevet sender meg en pm med et ekte navn (holder med fornavn om du vil). Er det ting du føler burde være med i brevet / ikke være med, si ifra nå. Jeg sender det om minimum en ukes tid.

Jeg syns det var et kjempefint brev. Kunne ikke blitt skrevet på en bedre måte:)

(må bare spørre Lothair: fikk du min pm?)

Lothair Mantelar · Post by **Lothair Mantelar** » Thu Sep 27, 2007 21:34

Ja, jeg fikk din pm.

Jeg antar du fikk mailen min også.

Jeg kan ikke komme på noe ekstra å komme med akkurat nå, men navnet er vel iallefall noe da.

ludde · Post by **ludde** » Fri Sep 28, 2007 21:21

Du fikk min pm, Steffen Gjerding?

Veldig bra skrevet. Ikke for langt, ikke for kort.

Lothair Mantelar · Post by **Lothair Mantelar** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 14:26

Navnet burde selvsagt være med, ja. Takk for alle de fine ordene.

Ninin · Post by **Ninin** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 14:54

Brevet var kjempebra

Men en ting. "Here follows the names of the board members that wished to be mentioned in this official letter: "

burde kanskje vært noe sånt som:"Here follows the names of the board members that wished to (send their condolences/show their respect) in this official letter"

Ellers har jeg overhodet ingen ting å "klage" på, kjempebra brev.

veldig smart det som står rett over meg her.. regner med du fikk min PM og lothair.

veldig ''fint'' brev ellers.. kommer ikke på noe rett ord egentlig

Lothair Mantelar · Post by **Lothair Mantelar** » Sat Sep 29, 2007 21:38

@ninin: Ja, jeg kan se den. "Show their respect with this letter" blir nok den endelige versjonen.

Jeg har fått pm'er av alle som har spurt (og noen ekstra, selvsagt).

Flott brev, men to ting jeg vil foreslå og endre:

I andre avsnitt, "horrible disease" til "horrible affliction" -- greit med eufemismer når man skal trøste noen, e.l.

Samme avsnitt, "strength-of-will" til "willpower".

Ellers virkelig et strålende brev, Lotta.
