TO WHOM THIS SHOULD CONCERN:

I issue a curse upon all employers and businesses and especially attorneys and job agencies who advertise employment opportunities here to hire qualified professionals. I curse all of you because you're completely devoid of professionalism and any sense of the diligence and moral character you demand from those you supposedly solicit to work for you! You don't even have the common courtesy of answering those who write and offer their professional services to you. You don't even care to take the time to create a simple auto responder to accomplish this half-a-brain feat. Nor do you care to make the time and effort to provide fair appraisal to one's work experience and self-educated excellence to do the job you offer, and who can do it with flying colors and better than best!

People are fodder to you. Their only purpose is what they can give you or do for you. Those who fail your elitist, supercilious scrutiny and martinet appraisal are summarily dismissed, instantly ignored and ruthlessly relegated to the swampland of homeless human refuse. Perhaps mainly because they don't demonstrate that more important qualification which you so obsessively but secretly demand? Being obsequious and servile?

Fie upon all of you and a curse upon your every business! This dystopian town should be called Evil City, not Sin City. To sin is human, to do evil one has to be an Las Vegas employer, businessman, casino or attorney whose greatest claim to fame and self-importance is arrogance, greed, impropriety and perfidy. I curse all of you, especially attorneys and most all the lying-toad, deceitful, incompetent job agencies in this superficial, benighted din of inequity and dog-eat-dog malignancy. To the job counselor whose forename is Stacey, I place highest on this list!

You don't deserve the professional integrity and competence and nonpareil skills and experience I possess and have to offer. You don't deserve to employ my honorable personage and exemplary character. Nor benefit from the supreme level of work experience and professional acumen I provide. You discriminate because of age and sex and fear of superior intelligence, and seek the company of mediocrity and servility. And of course do so cleverly enough to escape notice and prosecution.

But no, I'm not whining nor complaining over all the mendacious ill treatment and foul neglect I've received at the slimy hands of each and every one of you. I am simply exercising my right to free speech and availing myself of this empowering opportunity to reciprocate to your vile, vulgar, vaporous existence which you subject and induce me and others to confront here on a daily basis. The reason the world is filled with homeless vagrants and disenfranchised martyrs is because of you. Soon now I will join their ranks, despite all my best efforts to find honorable work in this dishonorable sewer of a city. And I place squarely upon the shoulders of each and every one of you your culpability and contribution to my ruin and demise. The real vagrants of society are you! The truest explanation to all that's wrong with the world I also consign to you.

So a curse upon all of you! The fair opportunity and just rewards of even meager success which you have denied me and no doubt thousands of others will soon enough come to bark at your pompous, malicious door. May you reap what you sow and achieve the miserable, uneventful end you have wrought upon me!

With all due enmity,
