I...Dear sir/madame,<BR/><BR/>I'm applying for this job of PA. I never done anything alike ever before, but I'm a fast learner. My strong points are my evil wit, my precious laugh in your face when you drop something and many others. I have no clue how to speak Turkish, but I'm still awaiting my degree of Spanish 102. I do, however, have a Spanish degree 101. I'm a terrible cook but like I said, I'm a quick learner and I can run very fast to the local Spanish restaurant or Turkish snackbar, whatever you would prefer.<BR/><BR/>I'd be delighted to become a personal assistent of New Zealand, but I'm not acculturating the accent, just to let you now.<BR/><BR/>You can reach me at manicpkte@hotmail.com. <BR/><BR/>Yours truly,<BR/><BR/>ManicAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
