Dear collegue,

the flagship journal Molecules plans to issue a special volume dedicated to the honour of ProfessorMarvin Charton on which I will act as the editor.

          I kindly ask you if you would be willing to contribute an article on this occasion.

          It would be fine if you would agree to submit a paper for this issue. Please let me know your decision.[title at this moment is not needed, information on the further processing will be given later on, after I get your decision]. The corresponding manuscript should be submitted not later than July 2004. The contributions will be reviewed as usual in this journal.

With best personal regards

sincerely yours

T. Marek Krygowski
