Why I shouldn't write cover letters

[ericcoleman]

I'm working on the cover letter to go in with the demo. So far all I have is a bad parody of a bank scam letter.

I don't think this will work.

I dunno....if you make it look like it's _intentionally_ written as a parody of a bank scam letter you might be able to get away with it. Did you ever see the Nigerian scam version written by Princess Leia? It was a hoot!

Dear (blank)

My name is Eric Coleman; I am a musician and comedic performer, looking to find engagements in your area.

My style is somewhat folk-music based, with content that can be tailored from family-friendly, to adult level comedic. I believe that not only would my performances vastly entertain your patrons, but that with repeat engagements, I can drive repeat business for your establishment.

Enclosed, please find a demo CD which provides a broad sampling of my work. I would greatly appreciate your taking a few minutes to listen to a few selections, and determining whether my performances would be a good fit for your venue.

If you decide that we might be a good fit, please contact me at (info) so that we can discuss engagement dates, and terms.

Sincerely,

EC
