As you know, a great deal of information on a variety of subjects
is contained in the news broadcast on television. We videotape cassettes,
Monday through Friday, every week of the year. We also videotape special
television programs when called upon be interested parties. We keep the
master videotapes for 10 days before reusing them.
We also keep a log of the material that appears. (see attached)
If the appropriate person or department in your organization is
interested in this research material, we can telecopy the lob to them by phone
immediately, then follow up by sending a videotape on the specific segment of
the news that would be of interest to them. If they are not interested in any
segments, they don't have to order the videotape.
The cost of sending a daily log by telecopier is $75 per day. The cost
of a one-hour videotape of all the segments that would be of interest that day
is $75. (see attached price list)
Please let me know if you are interested.
Sincerely,
George Lesko
Pre sident
