Dear Craig
I am so glad I found your post because this job would cover 2 of my greatest needs, paying for food and shelter and getting the word out about safe sex!!! I meet 4 of the 6 requirements for the position, I am gifted, energetic, american, and a man. I'm sure you have deduced by that statement that the rquirements I lack are being African and Gay. I feel that this is a small stumbling block that can easily be overcome, or I could just expose your orginization as racists and descriminators, LOL, just kidding!!! That's just me being gifted and energetic. What I DO have is a strong desire to get things done, a 1978 Slovenian made Tomos brand Mo-ped for transportation, and working "non-traditional hours" is no problem, because I'm used to not working at all. I would like some clarification on what you meant by oral skills, this could be a problem for me. I myself do not have HIV, I was once tested and the Dr told me I was negative, I asked if he was positive and he said yes, I felt really sorry for him. Diversity is no problem for me because I grew up in middle class suburbia. I do not have a diploma per say, I was home schooled and when I was 18 years old my mom was just like "Welp, your all done." I decided to write this e-mail as opposed to dropping off a resume, as I am out of state and will need to relocate for this position, do you offer relocation assistance? Also have the flood waters receeded there yet, because my Tomos doesn't do well in puddles, also I'm scared of what all diseases might be in those waters, you know like the one we're getting the word out about.

I look foward to hearing from you, and I can't wait to pick out furniture for my office;)

Regards
