more adventures in e-mail

Dear 7-year-old E-Commerce company:
I hope I'm not too late, this job sounds perfect! My name is Annie Saunders. I'm a 21-year-old web designer that just moved here from Anaheim, California. I'll answer all of the job specifications in a helpful, bullet format.

...

(Then I go on for about a thousand words about how I am the best person for the job. And I am right, and I am very cute about it the whole time.)

...

This is probably the longest e-mail I have ever written, and probably the longest you have ever received. I hope you read all of it, although I don't blame you if you've reached this point by skimming. I hope you take me into consideration, I know I'm young and not very experienced, but that just means I haven't been corrupted by other employers. Tabula rasa! A blank slate, how refreshing, right?
Sincerely,
Annie Saunders, enthusiastic, qualified applicant.

[edit]
i got the job. now i do tech support for a camera-lens-attachment company.
