>My name is Ron Motta and I'm currently working on a documentary series

>called " True Life " here at MTV. We're currently gearing up for next season

>and one of the ideas for an episode we had was " True Life: I'm A Little

>Person. " Basically, we're looking to follow and interview young (teens to

>twenties) little people around to get a sense of their lives and their

>stories. I am writing to you because I would like you to pass on the

>message at the end of this e-mail to the members of your group. Right now,

>we're interviewing people and gathering stories and trying to figure out

>what direction we're going to take from here.

>

>I just want to assure you that this isn't going to be a sensational tabloid

>piece...we want to show our audience some of the difficulties of growing up

>as a little person (teen-age years can be difficult enough) and also show

>how little people lead perfectly normal lives, have jobs, families, etc.

>It's going to be a very positive show.

>

>Thank you very much for your time and cooperation. If you have any

>questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
