That's a lot better than the version in my head, amych:
Dear People Who Should Hire Me:
Hi, I'm JZ! I will enliven your office by occasionally wearing crinolines, I never misspell anything, I am flexible on the issue of the serial comma, I love semicolons and treat them properly, I understand our institutional bureaucrazy (no, that is not a misspelling; that's deliberate) and where all the secret passages, trapdoors and helpful crawl spaces are located, and, if hired, I fully plan to use the boost in salary to fund an exciting new project called Homemade Zucchini Bread For The Entire Office Once A Week.
In return, all I ask is that you not be my old office. See how easy that is?
I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
Most earnestly,
JZ

That should close the deal, right there.
Aww, yours is pretty sparkly fabulous on its own!
(Seriously, cover letters and resumes and apps and all to do with them are uniformly horrible for me, and you have my strongest support for even putting yourself out there!)
I called and made an appointment to pick out a grave marker. That was actually easy once I got over myself and made the call. Stupid phone, intimidating me out of checking stuff off my To Do List.
Glad to hear it. We'll be sending ~ma if you need it.
Go, Onerous Task Do-ers!! Just sending my support. Go do onerous things!
Yay, onerous task-doers!!
I'm not really doing any myself, but I did just determine that something people were trying to tell me in a meeting was a big fat lie.
I just made a dentist appointment, after about 3 or 4 years.
Happy alert: A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving is on at eight tonight on ABC.
I've got a good recommendation letter for you:
Dear Employer:
Hire JZ right now, damnit!
Love, Us
Short and simple, yes?
Now I come up with my own designs.
I wish I could be original, but I do cross-stitch because I'm only good at following an exceedingly detailed pattern. Original art of any sort and me are unmixy things. The only thing I ever made that I thought looked good and interesting was the steamer-trunk box I made for my hs ceramics class. The Medusa bust I attempted for the coils project was a complete failure (the snakes refused to stick to her head).
Love that tassel you linked to--beautiful!!
