Topic Name: Cover letter
Message Name: Not bad,
Date Posted: 04/28/2005
In Reply To: Short and sweet is fine. In fact, it is preferable. I love a simple, direct cover letter. Do you remember that elegant sentence in Strunk and White's "The Elements of Style?" "Omit needless words."
Message: but you should be more honest. Four weeks is not nearly enough vacation time for a unique talent to unwind and return with creative juices flowing. I'd ask for six weeks minimum!
