Cover Letter to a Homeless Shelter

15^th October 2016

My Dear Friends at the (Homeless Shelter) Center,

I am a security officer with eighteen years of experience and four of those were spent at the nearby (other Homeless Shelter). I’m sure you know it well, and further, know that in my time there I learned many of the points needed to function in your organization. I still go to visit Sister (Nun) from time to time.    

I’ve come to feel a great deal of pride in my work with the LGBT community and would like to continue that work with your organization. It has always been my way to see everyone as a person first rather than as an orientation or label and that has always worked out for me.

I know I would fit in well at your center and be a positive influence on clients and staff.

We are all one people,

Richard Leland Neal 

Anniversary Angus

5^th December 2014

Dear Cassi,

       

It’s funny how things get turned around. Yesterday Pickle took me out for the anniversary of my birth and, as is my custom, I permitted him to choose the restaurant.

       

Let’s be clear that he needed me to take him to the store and that when I take him to the store he pays by taking me to eat. I never press this issue. We go where he wants to go and eat what he wants to eat. I just drive. In this manner he cannot legitimately call me overtaxing or a burden.

       

In any case, Pickle decided on Black Angus Steakhouse because he had a coupon for the place. I shrugged, and said I didn’t care if we went to the Costco food court. I made a few jokes about Angus sounding like anus, and Pickle took offence.

       

He said I was calling him an anus, and I burst out laughing. A few years ago we had gone to that same restaurant and he had called me the same thing only with far ruder the tone. It was on his birthday and he was having the most expensive thing on the menu.

Some folks take you for granted,

Richard Leland Neal
