Hi Mikael. I’ve been trying to find time to write to you for several weeks now, but it
seems there are never enough hours in the day. You left so suddenly from Hedeby
that I never had a chance to say goodbye.


Since my return to Sweden, my days have been filled with bewildering impressions
and hard work. The Vanger Corporation is in chaos, and along with Henrik I’ve been
working hard to put its affairs in order. Yesterday I visited the Millennium offices; I’ll
be Henrik’s representative on the board. Henrik has filled me in on all the details of
the magazine’s situation and yours.


I hope that you will accept having me show up like this. If you don’t want me (or
anyone else from the family) on the board, I’ll understand, but I do assure you that
I’ll do all I can to support Millennium. I am in great debt to you, and I will always
have the best of intentions in this regard.


I met your colleague Erika Berger. I’m not sure what she thought of me, and I was
surprised to hear that you hadn’t told her about what happened.


I would very much like to be your friend. If you can stand to have anything more to
do with the Vanger family. Best regards, Harriet


P.S. I understood from Erika that you’re planning to tackle Wennerström again.
Dirch Frode told me how Henrik pulled a swifty on you, as they say in Australia.
What can I say? I’m sorry. If there’s anything I can do, let me know.
