I HOPE you don’t mind me writing to you.

I work for a documentary company called Testimony Films. We are currently working on a new series for BBC1 Cymru Wales about life in Wales during the 1980s.

I am trying to get in touch with people throughout Britain who might have lived in Wales in the 80s and have stories to share.

I was wondering if you would be kind enough to place a brief appeal in your paper for people with memories of 80s Wales to get in touch with me.

I have drafted a short appeal below but of course please feel free to edit it as you see fit.

Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.
