My Cover Letter

Dear Sir or Madam:

I am responding to your ad in enjoyclassifieds.com for a High-Level Plane Designer. I am quite excited to apply for this position and hope you feel that my qualifications and experience are suitable.

I am 28, from the United States (Berkeley, California), and am quite proficient in all aspects of designing planes. During college, I studied plane design and became quite familiar with the major manufacturers and models of planes used in the world today.

I am not only familiar with high-level planes, but also low-level planes. While commercial planes are my specialty, I have also learned military plane design. In college, I interned with Boeing and learned about the best ways to design planes. For instance, the wings must be long enough, otherwise the plane will not fly.

After college, I went to Europe to work for Airbus and learned even more about planes. There, I learned many software programs used to design planes. I was considered very creative by my boss, and I even handpainted the planes I designed. From your description, I can see that handpainting will also be important at your company. Therefore, I am very excited about this job opportunity. In addition to handpainting, I also introduced other creative ideas such as installing very small microwave oven at every seat for making popcorn, and also covering the walls with feathers so they would be more softer. Clients were very surprised by these ideas. I think they liked these ideas very much, because I was not fired after they saw the new prototypes.

The job description also mentions creating propaganda, and I am sure I will be very good at this. As you know, every citizen of every country is used to reading much propaganda from the government from a very young age. For instance, since I was a boy, I learned that the president is honest and a good person, but as we all have seen with the current president, this is only government propaganda.

Please tell me what kind of propaganda you would like me to write, and it will be my pleasure to write it. I am looking forward to handpainting this propaganda on the planes that I design for you.

Thank you for your consideration and I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Ron Elkayam
Shanghai PRC
