Deeply Skeptical

Really starting to smell like a scam. I replied that I will write the screenplay as soon as I have the 250K in my bank account.

Dear Jan,

I am delighted to inform you that your book "Suffer Not The Mole People" was among the 7 chosen from nine potential candidates during the recent presentation by your team for a book-to-film adaptation. This selection is a testament to the exceptional qualities we believe your work possesses.

Your project received favorable reviews from three out of five members of our selection panel, advancing it to the second phase of our adaptation process. Congratulations on reaching this significant milestone!

I would like to commend your team for the trailer, which effectively captured the essence of your book's narrative. Excellent work!

Moving forward, we are prepared to offer $250,000 for the film rights to your book. Additionally, you will receive 8% of the production costs and 5% of the gross sales. Payment will be processed six months after we complete the necessary production research, which is set to begin immediately.

At this juncture, we respectfully request that the team which presented your title submits a professionally certified screenplay. This screenplay will be crucial for the upcoming stage of production research and is an integral part of advancing the adaptation process.

Please confirm your acceptance of these terms and acknowledge receipt of this email at your earliest convenience. We are enthusiastic about the potential to bring your story to the cinematic screen and eagerly anticipate your prompt response.

Warm regards,

Louie Lopez
