Re: Shooting a pilot: need advice

[Mandy Mastromanico] "The clients are in the Far East, and I am their only connection to the US therefore they are coming to me. I have no prior experience in this field."

Not to be cruel, but this reads almost like the deposed-and-then-deceased warlord's son that wrote me yesterday while I was sipping my morning coffee, and who contacted me -- me, out of all the people in the United States (I mean, who would have thunk it, you know?*#@!?) -- because I was his only contact to the USA.

I knew that I must really be special to him as he began the letter, "My Dear One..."

He will be sending me 20% of his father's oil money that I can then invest in a project with you, just as soon as the promised wire transfer to my bank account is made. (He assures me that it will be soon and I know it will because it is coming from a respected company, Hotmail.)

I, too, would like to have you look into researching a show for me: one that would deal with people getting contacted across the internet to do things they have no experience in, because former warlords and major corporations with vast funds want to assist people in starting new ventures. In fact, it's become one of the ways that new start-up ventures are being created around the globe.

The new show, tentatively titled "Rubbing the Rube," will be hosted by Donald Trump -- well, once his current show is canceled, and he's again looking for work.

I'll be emailing him today from my Hotmail account, because he too, is a Dear One, and I will let you know what he says.

I think there's a market for this one on the Game Show Network.
