Questionable Cover Letter #3


Oh my... a friend passed this along to me. Not only is the below letter 100% real, but it arrived printed on the top sheet of a memo pad, each page of which was emblazoned with the addresee's name. Creepy, sad, or thoughtful? You decide.

Dear [Redacted],
You have received previous letters from me and I have stuck to an all business approach. I am writing now to be as real as possible. You may look back at this letter five years form now and say "thank god I called that guy in" or you will look back and say "I wish I called that guy in". Either way, I know I will be extremely successful in this industry. There is no such thing as guarantees in acting but there is hard work, dedication, determination and pure talent. I know I possess all of those traits. Please don't mistake my confidence for arrogance, I am nothing but humble however realize that I have something that has yet to be unleashed. I hope you will consider to call me in. I would love to be represented by you.

Thank you,
[Redacted]

Being "as real as possible" is a wonderful quality in an actor, and nothing keeps it real quite like personalized stationary.

"I hope you will consider to call me in?" I hope you will consider to take a remedial english class! Totally creepy!

There are also such things as punctuation and syntax. I can only imagine those are the things he has yet to unleash.
