Dear Sir/Madam,
My name is Iosu Vakerizzo. I am an independent film maker and I am currently making a fiction film about travelling artists for which I need to find an actor (doesn’t actually need to have any previous acting experience) who  is  missing a leg, as he would be playing a character who wears a peg leg. I  have  had no luck through the usual means, such as agencies, casting websites,  etc.  So I thought I would write to you in hope that you may be able to help me.

I am hoping some of the people you work with may like the idea of being in a  film. We are a very nice group of people, working with a small and  friendly crew, working in a privet piece of land in the New Forest.

We will be filming throughout August and the person in question would be needed for 3 or 4 days on the first or second week of August. Most of the time he will get time to sit around and relax, watch the film as it is being shot while having tea or have a little walk around the forest. There will not be a huge deal for him to do in the film, all his scenes can probably be shot in one or two days, but it would be nice to have him around for a couple more days, just in case. Besides it could be a nice holiday for him.

We would cover all his transport, meals and accommodation costs and give  him a copy of the film once finished.

Please let me know if you could help us find our man, we would be very thankful and would offer you a credit in the film too. If there is any other information you need to be able to help us, feel free to ask.

I look forwards to hearing from you.

Kind regards,

Iosu Vakerizzo.
