Hello

Nothing fancy here

Hope this helps x

Dearest XXXXX

My name is Michael Sheasby. I’m currently filming NCIS Sydney and am leading a yet-to-be-released feature film called Two Ugly People (which was pre-selected for the Venice Film Festival last week).

My dear friend XXXXXX, whom you represent, has mentioned wonderful things about you over the past decade. In fact, I have several close friends & colleagues who have spoken so highly of you - so I wanted to reach out. 

My agent of the past thirteen years, XXXXXXX, has decided to retire at the end of this financial year (June 2024). It’s been a truly wonderful professional relationship, but I realise it’s time I begin conversations in regards to moving forward professionally. 

I’m wondering if you have some time over the next few weeks to have a chat about potential representation? 

I would love to hear back from you, XXXXX.

Sincerely,

Michael 

0422XXXXXX
