This is a shot of a light grey table top from above. To the right there is a green leafy plant in a white pot. To the left, and taking up almost half the image is a clipboard. To the right of the clipboard is a ball point pen, with a black body with silver at both ends. On the clipboard is a piece of paper with a logo in the top left corner. On the paper is text that reads: "Now everybody who knows anything at all knows perfectly well that even a business letter does not deserve the paper on which it is written unless it contains at least one significant phrase that is worth waking up in the night to remember and think about."
