Dear Mr. Gonzales,

Thank you very much for your letter of April 7th in which you inquire as to a position with this blog.

Unfortunately, at this time, we have no positions available. Certainly, no positions that require a man of your talents. Perhaps you should inquire at a place like "Powerline.com". And no, that is not the place Shatner works.

I would give you one word of advice in your future letter of inquiries.

Salutations begin "Dear [Sir/Madam]" not "Deer". And yes, there is clear authority on such matters.

Sincerely,

Atta J. Turk
