Dear Wonderful Producer/Astute Agent/Friendly PA/Person I Just Met at a Networking Event

I am an enormous admirer of your body of work/body of clients/body/bank account/capacity for absorbing alcohol – and am currently looking for a producer/agent/friendly face/therapist/sex life/large cheque for my original screenplay titled Wolf of Fifty Shades of Gravity as a Slave.

This is a noir/comedy/sports biopic about three unemployed actors/bankers/bridesmaids/revived dinosaurs who stumble across a hoard of gold bars/scheme for destroying the world economy/stash of hand-cuffs and whips/White House butler – only to find that themselves trapped in outer space/a phone box/a cotton plantation/a low-budget movie without hope of reprieve.

I believe I am absolutely the right person to have written this script as I have spent three years researching bridesmaids/worked as a fluffer on porn movies/never lifted a finger to earn  money in my life/once read a book on screenwriting and almost finished it.

My screenplay is polished and ready to go/almost polished/almost written/a dream I have every night before taking my medication.

I look forward greatly to working with you and making us both rich/famous/stoned/members of a new cult I have founded/all the above.

Yours sincerely
Charles Harris, BA Cantab (dropped out)
