Dear Rockstar Games,

 

I come to you from a small town in White Oak Texas asking for a job as a game designer at your company.  I have always enjoyed playing your games, and wonder what it is like to actually make the game itself.  If you were to accept me into your company I think I could be a great help since I have played the games for most of my childhood and plan to take a great amount of computer classes when I get into college.  I have played a lot of instruments in my small amount of time on this Earth so I would consider myself creative.

 

Now I know what you’re thinking “Oh boy another one who thinks they’re perfect for the job”, but hear me out.  If you could hire me it would just make my dreams come true, and I would always try to do anything to the best of my ability.  I have always been intrigued by video games, and I have watched them advance right before my eyes as I’ve grown.  I think that it would be best for me to help make something that I’ve done from when I was just a little boy.  If you were to hire me I could be a great help in animation of character and such because that is what has interested me the most for year now.  This would also be a great learning experience for me, and I could wake up every morning and be happy to go to work.

 

With everything I have showed you I would like for you to consider having an interview with me so you can see just how fit I am for the job.  If you do decide to let me have some of your time you can contact me at 501-201-0717.  The best time to contact me during the weekdays would be from 4:00pm to 10:00pm.  The best time to contact me on the weekend would be from 10:00am to 10:00pm.

 

Sincerely,

 

Ethan Nokes
