Notice: I'm listing names of Directors of Development and Vice Presidents of Creative Affairs with production companies who have never told me, one way or another, whether or not they take un-agented writers. Having stated this, I'm going to urge you--no, I'm going to flat-out beg you--to query them as you would anyone else, but not to send any kind of attachment with your letter. Don't send a synopsis. Don't call them. Respect the fact they haven't solicited un-agented writers. Simply make a polite inquiry, enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope, then let it go with a prayer and your fingers crossed tightly. Good luck.
