[Air-l] Dear Dr. Aristotle

[Dr. W. Reid Cornwell]

Dr. Socrates P. Aristotle
Provost
Stellar University

Dear Dr. Aristotle,

I am applying for a position at your University. I believe that over the
years I have acquired some knowledge that could be useful to your students.
I would like the opportunity to teach and share this with them.

Let me tell you about myself.

I dropped out of formal education at 13. I took an apprenticeship in a local
book bindery where I took the opportunity to read most of the books in our
shop.

After 7 years I applied for a position as a lab technician for a notable
scientist. I was rejected. I attended one of his lectures and took notes. I
then sent those to him and was hired.

I served this scientist for many years and on occasion acted as his valet.
Although he was condescending and haughty, I learned from him. I might add
that during my association with him I was able to do some of my own
investigations and was lucky enough to discover some basic principles in
electro-magnetism.

My work has been received well, but I have not had the opportunity to
formally teach.

Which brings me to the original purpose of this communication, you have
advertised a position teaching in the Physics department. I believe I can do
this with distinction. May I have an interview?

Regards,

Michael Faraday

PS I have several publications. Please feel free to review them.
