Let ${{\mathbf{P}}^{n}}$ be the $n$-dimensional projective space over some algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0. For an integer $t\,\ge \,3$ consider the invertible sheaf $O\left( t \right)$ on ${{\mathbf{P}}^{n}}$ (Serre twist of the structure sheaf). Let $N\,=\,\left( \underset{n}{\mathop{t+n}}\, \right)$, the dimension of the space of global sections of $O\left( t \right)$, and let $k$ be an integer satisfying $0\,\le \,k\,\le \,N\,-\,\left( 2n\,+\,2 \right)$. Let ${{P}_{1}},\ldots ,{{P}_{k}}$ be general points on ${{\mathbf{P}}^{n}}$ and let $\pi :\,X\,\to \,{{\mathbf{P}}^{n}}$ be the blowing-up of ${{\mathbf{P}}^{n}}$ at those points. Let ${{E}_{i}}\,=\,{{\pi }^{-1}}\left( {{P}_{i}} \right)$ with $1\,\le \,i\,\le \,k$ be the exceptional divisor. Then $M={{\pi }^{*}}\left( O(t) \right)\,\otimes \,{{O}_{X}}\left( -{{E}_{1}}-\cdots -{{E}_{k}} \right)$ is a very ample invertible sheaf on $X$.
