Emails to studios for context publication

These are the e-mails I have sent out to specific studio's that use illustrated lettering within their work.  I tailored each one to the specific studio, mentioning specific work of theirs that I was referring to in terms of type.

When you make the decision to use illustrated lettering in your designs do you have somebody in house who does it, or do you outsource a lettering artist?


When/If you do outsource a lettering artist, would you feel more confident about using a designer who is represented by an agent rather than one who isn't?


And finally, what is the best piece of advice you could offer to a typographic illustrator who is planning to go freelance in terms of approaching studios for work?
