worst cover letter EVER

Good evening, I hope you are well. My name is David and I live in Pennsylvania. I am originally from New York. I am a white male 39 years old, six feet tall with dark brown hair and I weigh 175 pounds. I have a job and I rent my own apartment. Using my college education of English and Writing Composition I wrote a crime thriller, an action packed mystery/suspense story that took me two years to write. I used six different dictionary’s and four different thesauruses and I built a story of great interest. I did it to do two things; to let my creative imagination run wild with a gripping exciting story, and to make money. Real money! We both have a lot of money to make with this book. When you get into the story and you discover who the people are and what they are doing you will see how the pages flow like water and grip the read with a fast pace.
I have included the synopsis of what the story is to help you understand in full what a crime/chiller this book is. I know it is not easy to read someone else’s work to try and discover how good a book is. I’m certain many people have come to you claiming to have great novels and claim their book deserves to be published, and only then you find out their work was garbage. I acknowledge your frustration, and I respect your efforts.
The reason I feel my book is good enough to be published is this; I had to pay one of my college professors to read my pages to correct spelling and punctuation and grammar. After reading my book he said he like what he saw and that, and these are his words, “The pages flow like water, with the story getting stronger and more intense as you go on!”
These words coming from a teacher that I always thought was too strict and emotionless meant a lot to me and they always will. Well, I’ve fixed all errors, put all paragraphs in correct form and finished the entire book. It took me over two years to do this. I am an adult and I wrote this book for adults. My book is for an adult reader the same way Mario Puzo’s book The Godfather is for adults. In 1969 he received a found hundred thousand dollar check from a publisher for that book and to be fair it was a great exciting novel. I myself have read it many times and I learned a great deal about writing from his books.

  1. Oh, friend. I am so glad I discovered your blog. Because this right here is the best thing I've seen. Other than the breakdancer who kicks the little child...
