 Context examples 


The Sun rules your partnerships, so I am wondering if you will offer the services of both you and a recommended partner as part of a twosome package. (Such a package might be on offer to a company with the ability to hire you, as a VP creative director, for example, along with your favorite, award-winning VP writer.) Lots of people offer a company a partnership like this, and it is a good idea.
