hello please let me audition for you / by Sarah Deller

how does one communicate passion and sincerity in a letter of introduction? I feel capable of reflecting earnest, intense love in journaling, in personal letters, and in fiction and nonfiction (where it is something else entirely).

but in a letter of introduction?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! when a sincere person and an insincere person could write something virtually identical?!?! when sincerity could sound desperate or cartoonish? perhaps that is the risk one must take.
