Dear SELEDA,

I respectfully submit the following resume for posting on your online magazine. I've just completed my MBA from Upper West Hollywood Correspondence College of Business and Homeopathic Medicine. I'm currently seeking an upper management position in a firm involved in the importation of third world labor. I have had extensive experience in the business world and I've been in the forefront on issues involving sexual harassment, work place incompetence and other disciplinary matters during my tenure in a number of companies as a database programmer. Having had to defend myself from a number of disciplinary charges, I've become greatly sensitized to the difficult task management faces from today's empowered worker. Being from a third world country, I also posses special insight that would be of great use to companies interested in importing skilled but meek workers.

See attached resume for a more detailed description of my work and academic qualifications. Note: I am willing to start right away, but I have to get a few prior and long-standing commitments out of the way, so please don't call me during the following days...

July 3-6:    'Networking and Recruiting' retreat in Toronto
July 10-19:    Scheduled to be in court: divorce proceedings
July 21-26:    Scheduled to be in court: DUI hearing
July 28    Paternity test—DC General Hospital
August 8    Lideta
August 28:    Giorgis
September 7:    Paternity Test: St. Joseph Hospital, Virginia
September 14:    Alimony hearing
September 15:    Palimony hearing
September 20:    Pending: my 6th wedding day

Sincerely
Siraw Belete
