...I could see that almost working, with the right literary agent.

Working on submitting Doctors in Space! somewhere?

(Also, I know the pain, a little bit - writing cover letters for job applications is a pain in the ARSE.)

I'm in the midst of Job Applications myself, and oh gods I wish I could just use a Cover Letter like this. I hate writing those things.

Haha, if only it were that easy, yes.

YES

I think you should try this. Do the regular one, wait for the response, if it's not a response you'd like, try this letter instead. You never know!

Now, if this were an autobiography of the Hulk, I could see this working.

Were I a literary agent, I would help you sell book based on this form letter alone.

[stagemanager.livejournal.com]

Me, too. (Perhaps that's why we aren't literary agents.)

Here via behindpyramids and cougarfang - this is wonderful! I love it, and I hope it brings you much success :D
