Dear Pittsburgh City Paper,

I see that you have already chosen an editor, so I am sorry that you missed out on the opportunity to hire me. I have decided to send you some stuff anyway, if that is okay with you. Please find included: A) A story I broke on my blog about UPMC Braddock, B) A review I wrote of a Robyn album, and C) Some other stuff. I have decided not to include a resume since it is not up to date and I have no journalism-related credentials.
Since you have already hired someone, I would encourage you to just pay me to write brief articles where I give my opinions on things, but if you want to list me as “Editor #2,” I guess that would be cool as well.

Again, thanks for your time. And if you know anyone looking for a teaching job, please refer them to my website, PghEduJobs.com.

Thanks a lot.

Sincerely,

Dear BP,

I filled out something online in order to get a BP Driver Rewards card. The website informed me that once I received the card in the mail, I would be able to go to a BP gas station and get gas for a certain number of cents off of the regular price. I can’t remember what the specific denomination was. This was to be a one-time bonus for having signed up for the card, whereafter I could continue to use the card normally and accumulate points by buying things and whatnot.

Well, I am writing to inform you that when I stopped by a BP last Saturday in Wexford, Pennsylvania and attempted to use my Driver Rewards card, I was informed by the machine at the pump that there were no Rewards on my card whatsoever, or no cents off per gallon. I was disappointed by this, since this was the reason I decided to try a BP station to begin with. I typically fuel up at GetGo or Sunoco.

In any event, I wanted to know if there was any way you could look into this. The number on the back of my card is ########################################################################################################################################################. Perhaps this particular card is defective. Again, I am very interested in trying out BP as my new go-to gas station. They recently remodeled a BP station very close to me, and I look forward to checking it out. I was very disappointed that the Rewards card did not work and would greatly appreciate any assistance in this matter.

Thanks a million.

Sincerely,
