This was mistakenly sent to my literary agency, even though we didn't represent screenwriters. There are also two samples from the script itself, that could be added if necessary. They are pretty gold so I might have to.

To Whom it May Concern:
Is it possible that I could send my screenplay to your agency for a reading. If accepted, is possible that it could be solicited to a movie studio or a production house. An Emotional Homicide is a story that is fictional and is a mix of my life experience. In my life experience I have seen women take control. Seeing my mother hustling numbers (book runner), drinking expense liquor and wine, to my mother's female friends and cousins sniffing cocaine, and driving big Cadillac's (to this very day my mother drives a Cadillac). To seeing my female cousins and female friends growing up in the Crack-Cocaine 80's transporting drugs into the United States and falling victim to the drugs they transported, and being incarcerated in federal prison, to catching the AIDS virus. These are some of the dialogues that were put in this script. The film industry is always saying they are in need of something fresh and something that is of the norm. Or would I say, "Pop Culture". And this would be, lesbianism, drug trafficking, a backstabbing plot, and of course, a love triangle. Pop Culture has produced feminist T.V. series like Sex and the City, Showtime's the "L Word", ABC's "Desperate House Wives", Urban film classic "Set If Off', and the mother of all lesbian film thrillers "Basic Instinct". All of these feminist characters in these genres are bad to the bone. Whether they are Black, White, or Latino Americans, the characters character stands out. But what separates my characters (in An Emotional Homicide) from all of other genre's, they are stone cold murders who are transporting heroin out of an African country by using people with AIDS that are in need of medical care. And they have the gall to go to an African country to take out an African dictator by using the dictator's general to kill him to keep the heroin coming into the United States. None of the characters in the other genre's a mentioned has done that. An Emotional Homicide is a good and exciting story that holds together from the beginning to the end. It is the art of story telling and screen writing by bringing a clear picture to the director to direct. There are two scenes from my screenplay attached to get a feel of what to expect if granted permission to send the script to your agency for a reading.
