Holy fucking shit.

Dr. Wald,

My name is [Name]. I am a producer with Journey Films (www.journeyfilms.com). Our company has been retained by the Templeton Foundation to film the Forgiving Conference and some of its participants for a future public television documentary on the subject of forgiving.

We are seeking an opportunity to interview you on camera about the psychosocial correlates of forgiveness in persons living with HIV/AIDS. [Note: That's the name of the talk I'm giving at the conference.]

We have a separate room at the Westin Hotel where the conference is being held. It will be prepared with camera and lighting equipment. This would be a 30-minute interview conducted in a relaxed style. You will have the opportunity within the interview to strike any "sound bite" you do not want us to use.

[Then there's enough contact information to choke a whale, suggesting that he really does want to talk to me.]

We feel that this subject has great potential for broad public interest and that your participation in an interview will help to shape that interest.

Sincerely,

[Name]
Journey Films

There's that navy suit you look so good in. Since you're representing the Institute, you might want to seek advice from the Public Affairs folk.

Congratulations! This is a really nifty thing to happen to you; I know you'll do great.
