In June 2010 we, the undersigned actors, were approached by a production company to participate in a TV series titled Rih Isfel, on NET TV. It was not the first time that we had been assigned an acting part with this production house. Four months of filming followed, which included travelling to the locations using our transport, providing our own costumes and spending long hours filming various scenes. Some of us had calls for practically for or five days a week, weekends included and often till late at night.

The TV series was broadcast on NET TV in the winter schedule of that same year. It is now a year since the series ended and no money has ever been received from the production company. A couple of us contacted the producers and were informed that the company concerned was in a dispute with NET TV, stating that this TV station had refused (for some reason) to honour their commitment. In return we stated that our arrangements were made with the production house and not with NET TV!

We are nearing the end of 2012 and have still received no remuneration for our work. We are writing this letter hoping that the producers realise that we are still waiting.
