Dear Anonymous,
I
am a puppet with an advice column and not in a position to hire writers.
However, I did pass your letter of inquiry along to our editors. They are as
fascinated by your writing style as I am. Although you imply that you are older,
possibly even a baby-boomer; what appears at first “read” to be a cross between
early 20th Century Appalachian and Borat is actually what our editors
like to call “Generation Z American”. If you are who we think you are it is our
guess that your writing is heavily influenced by your daughter, a somewhat
homely looking young lady who resembles Dad. Our editors suggest you seek
advanced studies to really hone those skills. I’m told there are two experts who
can help you: Professor Graham Moore and Doctor Yusef Spelcjek. They can be
found just about everywhere, even by those who don’t have a telephone. Our
editor-in-chief will keep your letter on file. Should you be still be seeking a
job in the future, say in maybe November of 2009, we will contact you.
Keep up the good work!
Alfonso
