A long time ago the guy’s read this funny cover letter that was attached to a resume and for the life of me I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Hopefully you’ll remember some of the lines (Which I know are not right) and then point me in the right direction.

I can do the minute waltz in 30 seconds  
I am an international spy and bake donuts in my spare time

I wish I could remember more but hopefully this will jog your memory enough to help me with a Google search. Any assistance would be awesome!

There is a similar letter that was a cover letter for a college application.

There are a lot of very humorous letters on this page, too bad they don’t keep a link to it on the home page anymore. Especially read the “Andy Scale”, it will help you understand the show a lot more. They make slight references to this letter once in awhile. You might also read the Mellissa Patterson, they mention her from time to time.
