Dear Ms. Rosenthal,

I am an intern assisting nne Favro, the medical reporter, at NBC 11, San

. We are interested in doing a sweeps story on the risks of saline breast

implants that may be infested with toxic mold. Since you are the director of

The Humantics Foundation for Women, we were wondering if you know of any

patients who might have undergone a problem where their implants were

contaminated. If you know of someone whom we can talk to in the bay area and

tell her story, it would be most helpful.

While informing women of the cosmetic enhancement that such implants provide we

would really like to make them aware of the risks involved that include

leaking, hardening, scarring, deflation and, in some instances, contamination.

We would really appreciate if you could e-mail me at mansi-bhatia@...

and I will call you back at a day/time convenient to you.

Thank you so much for your help, Ms. Rosenthal. We appreciate it.

Best,

Mansi.
