Well, a letter is probably the best way you can give weight to your feelings. Signing online petitions are all well and good, but in the end, it doesn't give the recepient any real indication how much investment you have in a cause. ANYONE can take 30 seconds to sign an online petition - getting a letter requires thought, an envelope and stamp. They may sound like small things, but they show that someone has genuine investment and might be worth taking a little more seriously! Letters have helped several campaigns gain success. Letters are the spearhead of any successful revival!

Ideally, as personalised as possible. If you can write a polite letter off your own back, super! If you can just make sure you put our URL, BacktoFrankBlack.com, or download our own BacktoFrankBlack.com A4 letterhead!

We encourage you to be inventive!
That being said, we know how hard letter writing is for people so we've supplied our own template for you to work from!

Dear ..........

I'm writing to you hoping I can encourage you to consider the return of the TV crime profiler, Frank Black and to raise your awareness of the considerable swell of desire to this effect.

Whilst the character was conceived for a particular Fox TV show called Millennium, I believe, as do the actor and creators responsible for the character, that he would make for a welcome and profitable return to the entertainment medium. As demands for a return of the character are voiced in every corner of the internet we believe a unified and directed appeal to this end will allow you to see how profitable and welcome such a move would be.

We believe the time is ripe for the opportunity to create a vehicle that would allow for the return of Frank and this is due in no small part to the immense interest a possible reprisal in 'X-Files: I Want to Believe' generated. As you may or may not be aware the popularity and love for the character has not only endured a decade of consistent fan activity but continues to grow in stature and display its affections in countless websites, forums, social groups and media orientated blogs.

The character was conceived as one of television's first and most highly original crime profilers, played by Lance Henriksen and created by X-Files creator Chris Carter - both of which have recently gone on record as being interested in returning the character. Their interest in reprising the character has remained constant and high despite the passage of time due to the sheer uniqueness of the character, the accomplished delivery of acting veteran, Lance Henriksen and due the popularity of the franchise which remains to this day one of the most highly original and groundbreaking offerings of its genre.

I feel obligated to add my voice to their wish, that as a character who pioneered an award winning series that still carries popularity through its DVD release and continual repeat airings, there is both the room for Frank Black to return and the demand. Frank Black is a unique character able to shift between fantastical and realistic drama. May I take this opportunity to encourage you to consider looking at bringing this hero back!

The main focus of our campaign falls upon the influential souls at 20th Century Fox who are judge, jury and executioner with regards to commissioning proposals and appraising submissions. To this end we ask that you address your letters and Polaroids to Michael Broidy. Michael was not only receptive to a similar campaign launched by fans of the X-Files franchise but was impressed by demonstrations of fan unity and in taking the time to respond to campaigners demonstrated that he was aware of the power of consensus. We ask that if you contribute once and once only you ensure that this individual is the focus of your efforts. Address your campaign efforts to:

If you are impassioned enough to contribute further to the campaign, the following Fox Executives were heavily involved in the process that resulted in the return of the X-Files franchise to the big screen. It would be of undoubted value if you were to turn your attention to them and raise awareness of the campaign and of the enduring popularity of Frank Black.

1013 PRODUCTIONS
Our intention is to contact the numerous individuals who comprise the 1013 team but it is not our intention to lobby them for a Frank Black return, they have been honest in stating that this is an issue beyond their control. That said, there is no reason why we cannot, as a movement, draw their attention to our efforts and also share with them our reasons for desiring a positive outcome. To ensure we are noticed it would be beneficial if fans of the franchise could alert the following individuals to our efforts and remember we are responding to THEIR call for unity and action and in contacting them we are displaying that their rally cries have been heard and we, as a fan base, a prepared to head them.

FRANK SPOTNITZ
Frank is respected for his interaction and the warmth he extends to the fans of 1013's body of work and he can be contacted at his site, http://biglight.com.

CHRIS CARTER
We believe we can contact the very reason we are here through his assistant and 1013 director of development Gabe Rotter. He has a website http://gaberotter.com and you can find his e-mail there.

Whilst the Webmasters involved in this project will submit considered and professional supplications detailing our efforts to the numerous cast and crew involved in Millennium it would be advantageous for campaigners to inform them of our efforts and to celebrate their involvement in the franchise. The more we are endorsed or supported by recognizable industry figures the better chance we have of success. If you are inclined, use the following addresses to contact your franchise favorites, inform them of the campaign, share a link to the website and most importantly let them know how much we care, why you taken the time to write to them and, ultimately, why you champion this franchise after a decade of its inactivity. We are resilient, growing in numbers and still passionate and we ask that you mention this in all your correspondence.
