For computer literacy class . . .

I have to make both a personal letter and a business one in Word to demonstrate I know how to use the program. So, here is my business letter, a cover letter to a résumé. Me thinks its funny. Enjoy:


Hammer and Anvil DVD Rentals
1825 Star Alexander Road
Das Kapital, ME 03092

Dear Human Resources Director:

I just read an article in the International Socialist Review about a DVD rental center for the proletariat. I would like to apply for the position of oppressed clerk trapped in a class struggle to advocate foreign and independent art-house films to the masses. A résumé is enclosed for your consideration.

My versatile background — covering over 10 years at TLA Video as well as recreating Jean-Luc Godard’s “Band of Outsiders,” frame by frame, for a master’s thesis — enables me to successfully recall and/ or recommend cherished original versions to their inferior modern remakes. I am dedicated, hardworking, and committed to enabling the great unwashed to free their cinematic minds within my strict set of guidelines.

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss this with you further. You may contact me at the email address listed above or the address stamped into the ex libris of my book, “Hitchcock: Genius or Capitalist Running Dog?”
