A number of appropriate people have already been interviewed for the first few items. The style is intended to be relaxed but informative, showing much that is interesting, charming and inspiring about the UK. There is already a great deal of interest in the UK within China, initiated by the passing of the Olympic flag from Beijing to London. The Letter from London will both draw on and feed this. World News Journal has agreed that each item should be accompanied by 5 logos and web addresses from relevant sponsor companies and organisations. Companies must pass the requirements of the journal for public interest and relevance.
