I found your vacancy on Cunard Line Recruiting - Capt.Bruce Williams very interesting and was hoping to apply. Are you hiring boat drivers?

I have always wanted to drive a boat and your boats look very impressive from the photographs that I have seen of them. I have never seen one in real life though because I am poor and could never afford 1 day on board never mind 2 hole weeks! Maybe with my wages as boat driver I can finally get to vacation on one?

I hope you accept me, I have experience in McDonalds fast food and I have the world record for fastest time to be award my first star badge as a 16 year old. I am now 33 and I am about to be awarded my second gold star!

Please don’t let my lack of experience put you off, I am a very hard worker and very rarely get sea sick.

I hope to hear from you soon

The same thing applies to Geordieland as well!

Cleaning one of these should be a doddle after keeping the Mccarpark free of chewing gum.

Whereabouts in America would I be based? I have an Uncle who lives in New York and would be nice to see him again. It is not important where I live, when you are paying me £5,500 a month I would live on the moon!

Before I sign a contract I thought I should tell you that I have also received a job offer from White Star Lines asking me to work on board their new “superliner” that they have called HMS Luxury.

The pay is about the same but they said I can live in my Mums house still and they will pay for all travel to get on board HMS Luxury when I have to go to work. HMS Luxury will operate from North West England and travel to Ireland and then across the Atlantic to St Lucia in the Caribbean.

To help make up my mind, I asked them for a picture and the name of the boat I would be working on and I would like to ask you the same thing. I also asked if I could ever drive the boat and they replied that it is a possibility.

Please send me the photo and name of the boat right away because I would like to tell my boss that I am leaving for a better job.

Thank you

Adrian

Maybe he might offer me a payrise!

Dear Adrian Charles

Below is the request you made and the name of the boat.

Queen Mary 2 is the most magnificent ocean liner ever built. Her every detail hearkens to the Golden Age of Ocean Travel, while providing one of the most modern travel experiences on earth. From bow to stern, discover 14 spacious decks on which to relax and unwind; to indulge in pleasures and pursuits you never normally have time for. Opulent public areas, extravagant dining rooms, ballrooms, theaters, lounges.even the only Planetarium at sea. But words can only do such a lady so much justice. For to truly revel in the grandeur that is Queen Mary 2, you must sail with her. Indulge in every experience Queen Mary 2 has to offer on a 7 day Transatlantic cruise between Southampton and New York.

We hope you can decide on your future on which boat you wished to drive.

Thanks for your time and co-operation.
