RE: "XXXXXX" – Joe Screenwriter

Dear Joelle:

It was nice speaking with you today, and thank you again for agreeing to consider my submission.

As we discussed, this office represents the interests of Joe Screenwriter. I am enclosing herewith a copy of the above-entitled script. "XXXXXX" is a comic fantasy with serious social undertones and can best be described as a renegade hybrid of "LIAR LIAR" and "THE WIZARD OF OZ".

We are offering this spec script to you because my client and I feel your company would be the perfect home for this project. Please feel free to contact me if you agree.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Best regards,

SCOTT E. SCHWIMER, P.C.
