Dear Captain Amy Hammerheart, 

I am writing to you to apply for a job on the world famous skyship, The Manticore, as a member of crew on your latest journeys. I am hardworking, friendly, a little shy, loyal, and a tiny bit headstrong in all honesty. I hope these qualities will be useful to you on deck. 

First of all, I am a very skilled navigating, and have a degree in rough terrain navigation. I am also a part time engineer, therefore if there is any damage, I will be able to fix it in no time at all. However, I am not the best at hearing, and you may need to shout a little louder for me. 

Secondly, I am a very experienced skyship driver, as I have been a crew member of crew for various other people countless times. As well as that I am also a great cook and can help in the kitchens at any time. I am able to carry copious amounts of wood and tools for any projects you are creating. I am an accomplished weapon maker and blacksmith. For that reason, I would be one of your main weapon suppliers. 

Moreover, I am very skilled at mountain climbing, and not afraid of heights, hence I could look after the Crow’s nest at all weather as I am also a farmer of ten years and used to being out in the cold. Additionally, I am a prized fighter, thus I could fight most of your deadly enemies, such as Basilisk, Acromantulas, three headed dogs, Jabberwocky and Ickabogs, plus I am a licensed weapon user.  

Furthermore, I am a very hardworking person who likes a challenge, and will not give up on anything, even if it takes a lifetime. I am sure that I will get on with the crew, as I am unquestionably friendly, and quite goofy at times. 

Finally, I am exceedingly keen to join your skyship as I have heard all about your, daring, dangerous adventures. 

I hope you consider me as a new member of crew. I am not a fussy eater, I sleep easily, and I will work hard for you.  

Yours truly, Lieutenant Catherine Lloyd 

P.S. I will have to bring my pet dog, Bruce the miniature Dashund with me, but do not worry he is a small, quick thinking, intelligent dog. (He also does not make a lot of sound.)
