This is an email sent to Joe Anderson (Head of Liverpool City Council)
Hello,
I am Lisa Waine. I am an A Level Media student from Weatherhead High School, Wallasey. Myself and my group are making a documentary on scousers for our media coursework which has a big influence on our final A Level grade. We were wondering if we would be able to interview you for our documentary, this only take a short while and it will be a huge part of our documentary so we will be incredibly grateful if you could take the time out of your schedule for just a short while. The interview will be on the changes in liverpool over the years, scousers themselves, thier humour and liverpools infamous music life. The interview can be conducted anywhere of your choice, all our filming needs to be completed by the end of october so we hope to hear from you soon.

Thank You,
Lisa.
