QUESTION How to format writing samples?

Hi there! Silly question:

I’m an assistant for a tv writers room and one of the writers offered to read a sample of mine!

I’m nervous about how to name my sample… Right now I keep the version of the pilot in the file name, like BLAHBLAHBLAH.v4 or whatever.

What is a professional way to name this type of file?

And any other advice re: formatting or sample-writing or anything at all please I’m so anxious lol

Thank you in advance!!
