This week’s writing exercise was to write a made-up job offer for a job that does not exist. If there really are any ducks who are scared of water, then I can only hope soprano singing does soothe them, though sadly my own singing voice is contralto, so Florence The Duck would not be soothed.
Dear Christy,
I am delighted to inform you that your application for the role of Receptionist at the Duck Sanctuary has been successful.
May I take this opportunity to say how impressed we all were with your ability with the ducks, especially Florence, who, of course, is scared of water.
Though your role will be based mainly at the front desk and you will see very little of the ducks themselves, you will of course have to walk past them everyday so your ability with them was significant in our offering you the role.
We have just one question to ask, can you sing soprano? We only ask as we know this soothes Florence when she must be washed.
We hope you will accept this offer and we look forward to discussing the role with you further if you so wish.
Yours sincerely,
The Duck Sanctuary
