on 1/7/2009 Wonderful article,you can search on email how a cover letter should be written. I would mention, that I am aware of my mistake and will try with all my power to make up for it. Life for all of us is constant struggle to grow out of darkness into light, no human is perfect and no human should lose the opportunity to improve.

Hello, RiteNow ...

Yes, I agree with the others, that this is an excellent article. I have a couple of particularly dear friends "with a past" to whom I'm going to recommend this information.

Trouble of any kind with "the law" can be so terribly prejudicial that it can -- and has -- forced people into homelessness.

Fortunately for them -- and for all of us! -- there is a new frontier ... the internet!

Despite the "recession" that appears to be going on, it seems to me that we really do live in an exciting time. Opportunities for abound on the internet!

And, like it says in that wonderful New Yorker cartoon showing a couple of dogs at a computer and one says to the other ... "On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog!"

Regards, Elizabeth ...
