All Film Distributors

Undisclosed addresses.





To the Attention of All Film Distributors:



We, the undersigned, would like to present to you the following petition.



Jinnah Movie Release



``Jinnah: The Movie``, is not just a film, it is about the history in the birth of a nation and the life of one of the world`s greatest heroes.

This film was produced in the memory of Mr Jinnah, who fought for the equal rights of minorities in India and in its process, he built a nation, Pakistan.

Mr Christopher Lee, CBE, who played Mr Jinnah in the film, not only considers to have given his greatest ever performance in this film, but thinks it is one the best films ever made. He is championing this campaign by making the press and the world aware of the film`s existence.

Please kindly ad your support for its release and so that the world can judge for itself.

Sincerely,

Juan F. Aneiros

On Behalf of

Mr Christopher Lee, CBE

this was way too long and a bit tiring to read..there was so much that you could have done without...can understand the detailed explaination of things and even how when one sits down to write, details keep coming laikin this was carrying it all too far..story was okay, but i feel sara should have gotten the guy after all that climax building...khushi kahan sae agayee?

Engaging work; well done. Needs a bit of pruning of adjectives and extranous descriptions and slang (somehow seems to be inconsistant with the stately pace of the narrator`s voice), but points to the skill of the author in pulling the plot off.

Looking forward to author`s next work!

An overemphasis on words and similes killed the story. It doesn`t flow naturally. I gave up after the first paragraph (I couldn`t swallow ``muffled dawn`` peeping through the window while the rain knocked on the ``windowpanes, sheet after sheet.`` Where did you get this?) After the first few lines I pretty much knew where this thing was going! As they say in economics, there is an ``opportunity cost`` involved for me here.

dude, stop beating around the bush with irrelevant details that are interesting at first and become irritating by the end....you take so long to get to the interesting parts, that one almost doesn`t want to bother getting to them...

details are one thing...but do we really need to know about every speck of dirt on every blade of grass and how it moves with every drop of rain falling on it at precisely 88 degrees...and how all of this is a reflection of sara`s emotions...just tell us what the emotion is...
