Dear makeandoffer,
I hope this email finds you well.
I recently had the pleasure of reading your story, "The Shy Girl Has a Gun," and I wanted to reach out to you personally. I was deeply impressed by your writing and the unique narrative you created, it truly stood out to me.
I am writing to respectfully ask for clarification: Are you the original author of this story?
If you are the original creator of "The Shy Girl Has a Gun," I would be extremely grateful if you would consider granting me permission to translate this wonderful piece into the Sinhala language. I believe the story's theme would resonate strongly with a Sinhala-speaking audience.
I assure you that I will provide full and prominent credit to you as the original author in any translation or publication.
Thank you very much for your time and kind consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
MAHEE.
