I'll try and add personalization to it once I get it right, though with a full time job, it's hard to go through and research every agent I'm going to query with this.
Reading a style manual now about how to write query letters. It will probably be my next writing resource (well maybe 2 from now as I think I'm going to mention query shark and agent query first)
I'm also done two parts away from finishing the Goo stories and rushing to catch up on my critiques before Nano hits me in the face!
Anyway, here it is!
Dear
In modern day Japan, Zack Hadley finds himself possessed by a ghost after
pissing on its grave. When he awakes the next day, he discovers that he has
magical powers from two different sources. He befriends the ghost, and a few
days later, a pair of mafia families kidnap him. Each represents one of the
powers. Without knowing of the other’s involvement, they order him to steal a
device from the Japanese government.
While trying to escape the mafias’ grasp, he falls in love with a member
from each side. They convince him to work on his assignment in order to hide
the fact that he has access to both powers. It doesn’t work. The mafia families
find out and send a hit squad to kill him. They say that he can’t be allowed to
mix the two powers and break the secret-treaty with America from World War Two,
or there will be yet another World War.
After nearly dying, he gets his chance to steal the device, but it turns
out to be a trap. Using the device he was sent to steal, the government captures
him and the girls. Becoming one with the ghost allows him to escape, but he soon
finds himself pitted against the Japanese government, the mafia and the country
he was born in.

SHADOW is a 78,000 word urban fantasy. My name is Travis Sullivan, and I was
born in Alabama, but I now live in Tokyo, Japan.
Thank you for your time
and consideration.
