Subject : Television Interview Enquiry
Hello there. My name is XXX and I am contacting you on behalf of XXX Productions: the largest independent television company outside London. I am interested in speaking to you with regards to a documentary we are making about Tom Cruise. We’d like to discuss your account of his actions at the MI3 premiere – apparently he spent 4 hours with fans. I also found your 4 points about Tom Cruise rather funny. Are you a Tom Cruise fan at all? Please email me at XXX and send a photo of yourself. Many
thanks, XXX

Dear XXX
Thank you for your mail, and I am glad you liked my writings about Tom Cruise in London.
I have thought about your request a bit, and while claiming ones 15 minutes of TV fame might be interesting for a lot of people, I’m afraid I have to say no to your kind request. (a directly stolen line from Huge Grant in Notting Hill turning Julia down)
I am not really a Tom Cruise fan. I am a huge Bill Nighy fan though, and I would never be able to justify to Bill that I am doing an interview about Tom Cruise on TV.
So, may I suggest to you or your producer to not only make a documentary about Tom Cruise, but one about Bill Nighy as well? He is after all the best actor you’ve got in the UK, and he certainly deserves a bit of attention, especially now when he is bringing the house down in a David Hare play on Broadway in New York where he got rave reviews, and he has just won a Golden Globe yesterday too. You are more than welcome to contact me again when you are going to do a documentary about Bill Nighy, as said, I am a huge fan and know quite a bit about him so if I can be of any assistance let me know.
But I am afraid I have to say no to the Tom Cruise interview.
With the kindest regards,
Ingrid

After sending this mail, I went out to get some lunch. And who did I see, in South Croydon (the dodgy end), in his open silver coloured convertable car, with his car radio on soon-to-be-deaf listening to reggae music? Edgar Davids, who happens to play for Tottenham Hotspurs (London club) these days.

Have your say
Can I have your autograph please?? ‘Cause I simply loved your reply :-)
(and I finally understood the football guy’s mystery glasses, that was excellent too!)
Kudos to you for refusing! Lets hope for the Bill one instead!LOL
Well what can I say, I liked Tom when I was 16. Now that I am 17, I better like more grown up men. :)
Edgar fricking Davids? In CROYDON???
Must be signing for Crystal Palace. Ho ho ho.
> “I finally understood the football guy?s mystery glasses”
Sorry if everyone already knows this, but I believe he wears them due to an eye condition.
I have no idea how good Edgar Davids is these days, but I guess Crystal Palace wouldn’t mind having him.
Yes that’s described in the link I put in the post. It is an eye condition. The thing that surprised my though was that he was driving his convertable car without his glasses on …
“…And send a photo of yourself” ??
Must try that one myself sometime! Well replied Ingrid!
