now I ain’t naming names

To the owner of Gibson Island,

I assume, sir, that you are male. I recently read your post on Craigslist seeking a security guard to man the tollbooth on the bridge that leads to your island. Do not get me wrong. I have never actually been on your island, although I have admired the glimmering lights of your fine houses from my nearby squalid shanty which reeks of rotgut whisky and cats. I did not graduate from the University of Texas, although I took many courses there in liberal arts, preparing me well to live alone in the basement of this hovel. I once aspired to live in one of your palatial estates and to make 1 million dollars by the time I was 25. I am 22 years old, and $999,997 away. Please help me achieve my dreams by hiring me as a gatehouse attendant.

Affectionately yours,

Austen Patterson
