Sir,
I tried hard to work out why you thought that Lapo Elkann was deserving of a Lunch with the FT (Financial Times, January 12, 2007), except for his Agnelli family connections, of course.

If the Financial Times Editor has run out of candidates, please call me and I will give you a list of candidates more worthy of the Financial Times´s largesse.
