Dear Bob Pope
Date line..May 25,2022
Hey Bob, We talked a couple weeks back at the chamber of commerce event. (I was the one
looking for a summer internship and had a zit on my lip that could have passed for a cold soar.
Lol. Whew. It was not. You’ re probably like, “uh.. What?” Maybe that helps you recall, maybe
not. Not completely important, I suppose.
I’d really like to come work for you at your IT business. You seemed like a cool person to work
for, I liked ur striped pants. I am available to start working on Monday, but I am taking my
driver’s test in June and have to study and go an hour and half away to take it at an easier
place cause I am not a great driver so I‟ll miss a few days. I am also going to the beach with
friends for a week in July. Oh, and my grandmother has bad gas (OMG IT‟S TERRIBLE) and
sometimes I have to take her to the doctor.
I’ve attached my resume, it‟s the bomb dot com. Let me know if you have a job opening for me. I
Can’t wait to play on some computers. If I don’t respond to your email, I am always on FB, snap
chat or insta!
Peace out,
Gabriell
