Dear Mr. Petersen,

I notice that you have a vacancy for the position of Moderator for the Only Randy Petersen forum on your FlyerTalk Miles bulletin board. I am very interested in this position and would like to submit my application for this job.

No doubt you are wondering why I choose to apply for position of Moderator in this particular forum and not in any of the others which also have vacancies for Moderator positions. Frankly, I believe that there is a lot more to do as Moderator of this forum than one of those "other" forums, where, honestly, I'd be bored to death. Here, however, there is no shortage things to do.

I understand that you are very busy with the operations of your InsideFlyer and WebFlyer businesses and therefore do not always have sufficient time to police these boards and "your" forum yourself. As Moderator, I can relieve you of many of these responsibilities and will happily take on duties including:

• dismissal of frivolous complaints
• censorship of "flame" posts
• closure of threads à la "out of sight, out of mind" mentality
• outright deletion of out-of-control threads
• occasional banning of users whom I find "annoying"
• obfuscation, cover-my-arse, inquiry deflection, and other workload reduction duties

You see, you get the best of the flame wars in this forum. I am therefore taking this, the earliest possible opportunity to apply for Moderator of the Only Randy Petersen forum. Moderators of other forums can look at me in envy - too bad for them, they didn't bother to apply like I am now.

I thank you kindly for your consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
FewMiles..
