Thanks. I think I'm all better now, am still drinking lots of water
and all that. The pitch is for a sort of combination
investigative/reality show, unusual format based on the unusual
combination of subject matter. Give her insight into my childhood,
personality; anecdotes will probably be especially helpful. She'll
answer any more specific questions if you have any.

FYI, my response to your TV lady. But do you have info I would need -- not
sure what type of pitch she is doing, what she might want from me?
P.S. Are you all well, over your cold today?
Of course I would be happy to talk about my brilliant, genius son!
But definitely wouldn't want it broadcast outside the company, as you
mentioned.
Just let me know what you need, Christine.
Best,
Karen Lancaster

Dear Mrs. Lancaster,
My name is Christine Yoon. I work at a documentary and reality
television company in Los Angeles. I met your son Barrett back in college
through a mutual friend. A few weeks ago, I mentioned to that friend
(Andrew Stein - you may or may not remember him) that I was hoping to enter
my company's annual pitch contest, and he got me back in touch with Barrett.
I'm writing to you in hopes that you might allow me to include a statement
from you in my pitch materials at the beginning of August.
What I would love to do is interview you via the video software Skype.
This interview would only be used in the video for my pitch, and would not
ever be included in anything broadcast outside the company. I've already
interviewed Mirna Hariz this way, and it worked out very well. If this
isn't possible, we might be able to work out some other method of including
your perspective.
Let me know if you are willing to participate - you can reach me at this
email address or via call/text at 504 4197287. Thank you so much, and I
look forward to hearing from you!
-Christine Yoon
