Re: Opening in position of secretary.

Your Highness, Fourth and last brother, Ao Jun, king to the west.

Sir I am replying to the Interdepartmental Memo #3204921 3SR requesting the position of Second Senior Office Secretary for the palace office of the Commander of the Armies of the Western Heavens.
Though I do hold the necessary security clearance Level 4 you requested and I fully understand all the duties attached to the post, I lack experience in the area of filing and mail opening past my own personal correspondences. However I hope that this will not deter you from considering my application.

I am fluent in various Han dialects and Mongolian. While rusty in Zhuang, I have yet to order anything unpleasant to eat and tend to haggle everything down to a nice low price. Alas my Uyghur is only passable and other than the one time I nearly sold my brother into bondage, which I’d like to add he deserved. Kami being my native tongue I see little in the way language to get between my understandings of your grace. My brother was kind enough to teach me Asian Sea Dragon since I was a toddler, let’s hope it is pleasing for you to expand any holes I might have in my education.

As you will find I am new, well by Kami conceptions of time, to the army life I’d like to list a few of my past jobs held:

Child care provider, expert in the pre-school years.
Your grace this was a glorified babysitting job, for a group of 6 - 12 rich spoilt brats in need of entertaining.
Distribution agent of the news.
For two weeks I would drop off the papers, I left finding the work unsatisfying. Oh and that blokes hand I broke for grabbing my ass.
Circus hand.
I loved this job and sadly when my partner died felt unable to carry on our act, no one could throw a knife like her.
Rebellion leader of the miss guided.
Let’s say it best not asked about.

After that my misguided and loving brother thought taking a job up here might help give my life some direction, bringing us back to the application. I do find it sad that his Highness thinks a sense of humor is a negative in any job and wishes him well when choosing; I also thank him for taking the time to read this fully.

Yours faithfully Li Bing.

Re: Application for Secretarial Position

Sergeant;

After having reviewed your application for the position of Second Senior Office Secretary for the palace office of the Commander of the Armies of the Western Heavens as detailed in Interdepartmental Memo #3204921 3SR, His Majesty Ao Jun has voiced confusion as to your reasons behind applying for this position. Although your language skills seem satisfactory, His Majesty feels that you would otherwise likely find the position tedious and unsatisfying, as there is a decided lack of prancing horses in tutus or skilled knife work beyond the use of a letter opener.

However, with this caveat, His Majesty has passed along your application to Internal Security for review. Once your background check has cleared, you may apply as a candidate for Level Four Security Clearance. It is suggested that you also attend the next scheduled dates for the training seminars #2305932-DKR.3 Advanced Dragon-Kami Relations, and #2305932-DKR.4E Intensive Overview of the Dragon-Kami Treaty and Its Implications for the Heavenly Army. Completion of these seminars is necessary for the Schedule I Special Incentive Hazard Pay: Secretarial-D wage bonus check available only to His Majesty’s personal staff.

While you are awaiting the results of your background check, His Majesty has graciously enclosed the pamphlets The Joy of Filing and Fifty Shades of Red Tape for your reading pleasure. He also strongly suggests you examine your reasons for applying for this position by taking advantage of the psychological services provided free of charge for members of the Army of the Western Heavens.

His Majesty wishes you luck in your career.

Interdepartmental Memo #4904725 9GR-OP
