MAGIC

"The X-Files" creeped into my life in late 1993, when I was a mere 11 years old.  From the moment the pilot aired, I was addicted like a hopeless drug user.  Smitten by the charm of Agents Mulder and Scully, and attracted to the distinct atmostphere of each episode, I would look forward to every Friday night at 9:00.  I watched every episode, when they originally aired until the 8th season.  The season cliffhanger where Mulder was believed shot actually made me cry. 
Agent Mulder was a role model for me, being a young man and watching him so intently every week.  Like those who have influenced you, you have influenced a whole new generation who have grown up watching your scripts.  My short stories have been greatly influenced by your work. Every year the "X-Files" fanbase is getting larger, and I would suspect in 20 years it will be enormous. 
I was so excited to hear that the final talks had been done for the new "X-Files" movie.  Time passed so long with no word it was depressing.  But now that the gears are in motion, nothing can stop it.  I am absolutely positive that if you put your creative juices to work, this movie will be magic.  "The X-Files" movie will be a success because the truth is out there and we want to see it. 
Good luck, Mr. Spotnitz.
