Dear XXXXX, (edited out by Macaholic)
Further to our earlier emails, I've just received news from David Basskin, President of the Canadian Musical Reproduction rights Agency (CMRRA) that the process of negotiating a licensing deal with Apple is now under way. Mr. Basskin met last week with representatives of the company, and he's confident that their discussions will move ahead quickly. Last week, Steve Jobs told Mr. Basskin that Apple couldn't wait to come to Canada, and that it was a very high priority for him. Mr. Basskin trusts that this enthusiasm will be reflected in a quick and mutually successful negotiation.
Should you have further questions, please contact Mr. Basskin as follows:
