Dear Mrs. Gomez,

Thank you for your email. I know times are tight and it is hard to muster even one congratulation (let alone one Microword). I am excited to take part in your New Year's promotion, and am happy to see that you've teamed up with the foundation for the Promotion of software products. It is refreshing to see a non-profit organization heading up efforts normally reserved for private enterprise. It is also nice to see an alliance between the normally bitter rivals software products, and very small words.

Mrs. Gomez, your unconventional use of capitalization and sentence fragmentation lends to your credibility as a maverick and pioneer in the microword and sweepstake fields of business. I was also reassured by your acknowledgment of the emergence of my email address, which has toiled in relative obscurity since the dark ages of the internet (mid-1990s), and has long deserved an award equal to, or greater than, 500,000 Euros.

But what sold me.

Is the high standard you hold your claims agents to. Prospective claims agents with commensurate work experience but lacking appropriate credentials need not apply. Employment seekers in the industry of agency for claims who thought they would short-cut their way into a position with Microword Corporations by way of a non-accredited claims agent degree earned through correspondence with a Kaplan State University or a Phoenix College Online will be unsuccessful. Only accredited claims agents, such as industry legend Alejo Enrique, will be qualified to distribute internet lottery winnings with the approbation of the renowned Computer Literacy Advocate - Microword Corporations.

Some ask, in light of your dedication to literacy, why make your words so inscrutably tiny? "Precisely." you answer, and award those people half a million Euros. I am one of those people, and I thank you.

In conclusion, I accept your offer for the position of accredited claims agent for the Corporations Microword.

Sincerely,
Alejo Enrique
