Dear Harriet Culpepper,

I am writing for a job on the famous skyship 

Echo as I have been training for years and

will bring tons of unique skills, so I hope 

you have room for a young, eager 

explorer.

First, my sharpest skills are climbing, swimming

 and defensive fighting. Climbing would be 

useful as if I fall I can get back on very 

easily (unless it’s wet).

Secondly, swimming would be useful as

 if the ship ever crashes because of flying goblins, 

I would be able to swim away from any 

sort of mysterious danger.

Furthermore, I would make a brilliant 

security guard because of my black 

belt in taekwondo and would be able 

to protect the ship from creatures

, when they attack.

I hope I will be allowed aboard next

time the ship is in the air!

Yours sincerely,

Xander James

P.S. I’m bringing my dog Teddy, he eats bugs and chases spiders.
