"Best cover letter ever" nets job offer — From Smith & Wollensky
Long story short: an undergraduate finance student at an "average" university wrote a letter (below)
inquiring about a summer internship at some investment banking firm.
It went viral and the usual ensued.
Today's New York Times Business section features a full-page ad (page 5; top) incorporating that letter into an offer of a summer internship: alas, not at an investment banking firm but, rather, at Smith & Wollensky, where our intrepid investment banker wannabe had dinner last summer "when I was touring the east coast with my uncle."
Yo, kid: take the steak, leave the investment banking business — to paraphrase a memorable scene from "The Godfather" (below).
You may not be able to bank a small fortune as a result but you'll sure know meat inside and out.
And an insider's knowledge of meat in these trying times is no small beer.

Take off and nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
