Here's his letter, the braindamaged gormless tweak:

Enclosed please find my resume, in response to your search for a Technical Writer.

Technically, I could write. I prefer pictures, but when the cituation demands it, I could string together fabulous writing. It's truly a marvel.

Be not misled. I say pictures, but a misnomer actualices. More truly, the magic of imagery attacks my soul and articulous, dynamic renderings of Pulitcer material vomits forth from me unto the firmament. Got it?

Hows the pay? I got a wife and a sick spaniel, and both is diddling me. Whereas no diddling is my goal. Compencation notwithstanding, hows the benefitce? Ectended medical, I accume.

I got no three pages of samples, but this letter while busting my brain is showing my best cide, dont you legree? Show me a bovine deflector, and I will render it unto the audience none such as a cowcatcher, but more truly as the way to arrive at the station without no cowguts on the fuccin bowsprit. Thats the trick, no?

Okay, let's talk to turkeys and call it a spade. Pay me and I write.

Yours most incredibly,

Cuthbert Thmith
