My name is andrej Dauthard, I am a fully grown Carcharhinus Leucas Vir (or bull shark man if you will.) I am applying today because I belive that out of all the bull shark men out there today, I am the most qualified Public Relations manager you will find in the whole ocean, I understand that most who apply  are in it for "huge celery, beneful, company car and vacations" but don't want to work for it. I will tell you now that I will work myself to the bone, but not because I want to eat dog food, I care not for a huge celery, for I am a carnivore and eat only meat. I care not for a company car as I am just as fast as one and can not operate one with my tail fins, this also means I do not kick tires. If you are truelly interested in finding a shark person please read my skills and history below, mullet over and let minnow.

Dear Sir or Madam;

It has come to my attention that you are in fact looking for Sharp people and not Shark people, I am embarrassed about this misreading as I had not been wearing my glasses at the time. I would like to give you my deepest apologies about the confusion.

That being said, I would now like to ask you to forget about my two letters and not inform the government about my presence, as I fear what would happen should they learn of my people. In return for you silence I am prepared to ship to you 25 red saddle backs, they are a delicacy among my kind and are very important to me as having such a large quantity of said fish determines the social standing amongst bull shark men.

However, if you are willing to excuse my poor eyesight and the fact that I am a Bull shark man, I am still more then willing to work for you and would be happy to come in for a interview.

Looks like I'll be going to find a shark costume.

Do it do it do it
Go in in a shark costume, sit down and say something clever to see if the guy catches on
