This is how you do a covering letter, truly inspiring.



Also, check out the reply he got back from 4Creative on his channel.

For the people living outside the UK 4Creative is part of Channel 4, a public broadcasting service in the United Kingdom.

No wonder my photoshopping of me beheading Davina with her own cue-cards never got me a foot in the door at 4.

My aunt used to run an advertising company and said that the best employee she ever had was on Oxford grad who sent in no c.v/application form/covering letter just a small, newspaper sized advert advertising himself. She said it was the best thing she's ever read in her entire life. Pretty cool to see stuff that isn't standard three parts all on paper.

I find it funny that people on here get so uptight about spelling, poor form of internet banter.
