Dear Ann-Louise,
Thank you for taking the time to interview me for a position with Murderesses, Inc. For more than one reason, I am sorry that my research into your corporation (corpsoration?) didn’t clue me in to the unmetaphorical nature of your business. Please allow me to say that I have come to have a grave and eternal admiration for your efficiency. I am a little decomposed by your rejection, but after a brief mourning for this departed opportunity, I’ll rise again. I’ll see you sooner than you expect to see me, and I remain
Yours, lately and posthumously,
Ruth
