The Best Covering Letter Ever

So I posted a job on one of these outsourcing job sites for an article writer.  I got back many applications as you’d expect.  Some rubbish, some worthy of further conversations.  And then there was this one which has never made me laugh so much.  Some commendable overuse of a thesaurus:

“The proem interpretation of this scripture of getting into M/s. oDesk (Article Writing)  is my  resolute seriousness and sincere  desire and determination to accomplish myself and prove my mettle of skill writing, avoiding exaggeration, metaphor, or embellishment, but factual; prosaic handling and successful implementation  with executive ability or any works or business, a present day IT person  can do to escalate appropriate compliance’s, and acquiescence etc., And I will be prepared to accept any challenge and do one’s  best as stand alone or a team worker with rigidity and exercising degree of determination providing productive materials to my provider  for the  positions which I have earned during my fifty four years of active home and abroad services”.

Needless to say this person didn’t get hired, but worthy of note for being so damn hilarious!
