Dear Sir or Madam:

I am thrilled to put in my application for the Mascot position at the Empire State Building. I am certain that no other applicant could bring my enthusiasm and vérité to this job, and I'm excited to become the next member of your team.

Since relocating from Central Africa as an adolescent, I have been employed with the Wildlife Conservation Society in the Bronx, as a live-in animal physiology and bio-ethics educator. In this position, my main responsibility has been creating a realistic simulacrum of life and environmental conditions in my home country for the educational benefit of tourists and school children. You might compare my role to that of the historical reënactors of Colonial Williamsburg, but with a focus on the equatorial rain forest, rather than revolutionary America. I am also often tasked to assist our on-site medical and biological research teams with their inquiries, and have always excelled in both of these essential functions. I have a particular zest for performing for children, and young visitors to our facility have often ranked my exhibits and demonstrations as among their favorites. While I find my current situation satisfying in many ways, I have often thought of branching out with a new organization, particularly one that would allow me to move house, preferably to Manhattan, or one of the more bohemian neighborhoods of Brooklyn. The 24-hour on-call nature of my current job leaves me little time to explore the world-renowned arts and cultural scene here in New York, and I would love the opportunity to do so.

I am within the height requirements for your costume, as described in your advertisement, but I'm forced to confess that my over-all physical dimensions may exceed its capacity. My natural appearance may, however, negate the necessity for such attire, and I hope this small point will not preclude me from receiving an interview. Another small challenge is that my current schedule allows me no opportunity to attend your hiring event, or, indeed, to travel to your offices at all. Should this letter perk your interest, however, you are more than welcome to visit me at my current place of business, at the address below, It is easily accessible from midtown via the #2 or #5 subways or the BxM11 express bus. I know this is rather an unusual request for an applicant to make, but I am certain that a face-to-face interview would allow me to demonstrate to you my unique qualifications in short order.

My resume is attached, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours Sincerely,

Jo-Jo

Wildlife Conservation Society

Warmest felicitations, My Good Lady,

And my most sincere congratulations upon the commencement of your most worthy venture! Though I am considered by all in my circle of acquaintance to be a serious-minded young gentleman of noble habit and good family, and I have been received this season in all the finer homes,  I am forced to make the embarrassing confession that I find myself without situation. 

I would be most inclined to use my natural propensity for chivalrous behaviour to escort young ladies of refinement in the completion of their daily tasks, keeping them from undo contact with the rougher elements of the under-classes.

I am recently graduated from King's College, Oxford, where I took a first in Classics. Throughout my studies, I have endeavoured to maintain a certain level of physical fitness - rowing two-man skulls, and achieving certain notoriety on the rugby pitch. As per your request, I have enclosed a photograph of our '04 side, in which I may be found kneeling in the second row, third from your left.

Might I presume to call upon you at your first convenience, and have the pleasure of presenting my credentials in person? I may be reached by return post at the Hotel Des Armes, Chiswick, or at my club, the Barrington's. 

Yours, Etc.,
