For Example

19 February 2011

Mr. Cover Letter, Sr. Bane of My Existence
Company Hiring Managers
Everywhere, USA

Dear Mr. Letter,

Writing a cover letter is like:

  • jumping through a fiery hoop of expectations.
  • an awkward first phone date. (does anyone do that?)
  • trying to impress your friend's perfect parents.
  • taking that part of writing class in highschool all over again.
  • putting really colorful pictures on the front of an ordinary pack of #2 pencils. either you want and will use the pencils or you don't and won't.

I will call you in the following week to schedule a time we can further discuss my disgust for you.

Sincerely,

I.M. Over It

P.S. Minimum wage college graduates everywhere can vouch for my sincerity.
