This is a great example of concrete advice Tim Ferriss is good for, and I really enjoy reading. As opposed to some of his shadier/"douchier" practices found here:

I emailed probably the most successful Hollywood agent. It took me 3 weeks to write the letter, and he accepted my script for reading. I reckon that 3 weeks of my time was worth an hour of his.

Sadly, 2 years later and the script is still unread. But the chances of now convincing him to accept a better script is a lot higher than nothing.

An amusing aside is this: I used a guide on how to write a good online personals/dating letter, to write the letter to the agent.

I thought that was outstanding. Thanks for the link.
