(I've stripped out the actual contact information.)
Now, I understand people use form letters for things like this. I've created such letter templates. And I even have a form letter for resume cover letters. Except I customize mine, so that each one is unique and personalized.

Not so Mr. Kaplan. Yes, I received your form letter. In fact, I received it twice (both copies had the same typo even). I guess that's what I get for posting two resumes. If you happen to read this, consider this me declining you.

You're welcome.

Brian
