My Response:
Dear Mr. Johnson Craig,
This is to be stuck straight up your inbox. It was with great joy in my heart that I received your offer of employment in the tactile industry. I was especially pleased to read this line “who can help us establish a medium” because I am gifted with the special sight. It is a talent that I received through divine providence. Not only can I see those who have left and right, but my vision divines the potential and profit of people, past and present.
So I know with a heart full of soul that this is right for me. Last night I celebrated with incense and peppermints the beginning of this new venture.
