A cover letter from James Bond applying to be Special Agent 007.

James Bond
12 Adelaide Street
C/O Connections @ St. Martin’s
London WC2N 4HW
23rd October 2018
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please consider me for the position of Special Agent
007.
I was educated at Eton College, England and studied
Oriental languages at Cambridge University. As well
as Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese I speak
French, German and Italian fluently.
I believe the world is heading for disaster if we do
not act fast to save it. In my opinion, the most
important work of all is the safety and security of the world and especially the protection of
our children. However, although a pacifist at heart, I am able to assassinate quickly and
quietly, if needed.
I have served as a British Intelligence Officer since 1998 and have been living and working in
many dangerous environments around the world.
I trained with the Special Boat Service in the UK. As a commando I have served in Iraq,
Afghanistan, and Bosnia where I saved 100 men single-handedly. I also served with the
Special Forces in Indonesia, China and North Korea.
I am fully computer literate and can multi-task, completing many tasks simultaneously. I am
skilled with all types of weapons including machine guns, sub-machine guns, sniper rifles
and pistols. Furthermore, I am an expert in all kinds of martial arts including Judo, Jujitsu
and Kung Fu. In addition, I am a qualified pilot. I can also drive cars and motorbikes very
fast.
In my spare time I enjoy running, swimming, diving, sky diving, skiing, jet skiing and rock
climbing. I also enjoy playing poker.
I attach my C.V for your attention and look forward to hearing from you soon,
Yours sincerely,
James Bond

And here is my apartment. Hello, my new home! I waited long for Olga at the airport. But it’s fine. During that time, I studied a map of Moscow. I saw where I was going to live. This is a very nice area. My office is near. I can go on foot to work.Near my home, there’s a big park. My apartment is very cozy. I have a living room, a bedroom,  a kitchen and a bathroom. And a very nice balcony. I see the park from here. What a wonderful view!

这是我的公寓。 你好，我的新家！我在机场等同事奥尔加很久了。
但没关系。在那段时间，我研究了下莫斯科地图。我看到了我要住的地方。这是一个非常好的区域。我的办公室就在附近。 我可以步行去上班。我家附近有一个大公园。公寓非常舒适。有一间客厅、一间卧室、一间厨房和一间浴室。还有一个非常漂亮的阳台。我从那儿可以看到公园。 多么美妙的景色啊！

Et voici mon appartement. Bonjour, ma nouvelle maison! J'ai attendu longtemps Olga à l'aéroport. Mais ça va. Pendant ce temps, j’étudiais une carte de Moscou. J'ai vu où j'allais vivre.
C'est une région très agréable. Mon bureau est proche. Je peux aller au travail à pied.
Près de chez moi, il y a un grand parc.
  Mon appartement est très confortable.
J'ai un salon, une chambre, une cuisine et une salle de bain.
Et un très joli balcon.
  Je vois le parc d'ici. Quelle vue magnifique !
