RE: Replacement of the dead manager
I refer to the recent death of the manager at your company and i wish to apply for the replacement of the dead manager.
Each time I apply for employment ,I am told there is no vacancy but on this one, I even attended the funeral and all burial process and made sure that I hear from you who will take up the position. All I can remember is you saying that he will be difficult to replace meaning there is no one at the moment.
It's sad that he has left us but at least I benefit as he has left a vacancy for me.
I only hope there will be no corruption as we are all still mourning. He was my neighbour and it will be easy for me to continue with his legacy because I was seeing the time he was coming for work and knocking off.I will be sending my pictures whilst attending the funeral and burial so that you can see how tough I was and can be when employed.
Thanks for advertising the funeral because I could not have known.
Yours
smiling,
