Send the 268 words.... and also include a sample of the actual
script.. a page or two. one of the best of course to give
them an idea of the quality.

My view is that if the twits are not interested in reading a
little in order to make a fair evaluation screw them. These
people do themselves out of all sorts of good material for
assine reasons...catering to the mentality is not good for a
person..its destructive. I recommend one does not cater.

having said that I would make my 268 words easy and
interesting to read. I think the sample is also important.
