Dear Ms. De Luca,
I hope this letter finds you happy and in good health this holiday season! Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Raul Stoneson, add I have recently returned to Rhy'din after several years abroad, studying the theatrical arts, and most particularly, the craft of makeup for stage and screen. I write to inquire if you have any available positions at the Shanachie for someone of my skills. Of course I understand that you couldn't really consider such a request sight unseen, and so I have enclosed some photographs of my work.
*several photos of actors in makeup are included in the envelope, ranging from simple enhancements to full-on masks and prosthetic appliances*
Should no opening be available, I certainly understand and thank you for your time in reading this letter.
At your service, Raul Stoneson
Mataya grinned as she reached the end of the letter. This was close to perfectly timed - she, Ludo, Tony, and Jon had just finished putting together the schedule for next year's season, and they were going to be opening in February with something that was definitely going to need an expert in exactly the area this Raul Stoneson declared himself to be. She much preferred physical effects to magical ones, herself, and she knew from the statements of some of the actors that they, too, had a preference for being able to inhabit their characters in the dressing rooms, rather than having to rush through the magical transformation in the wings.
Picking up her pen, she was delighted to be able to write back almost immediately.
Dear Mr. Stoneson,
I cannot tell you how delighted I am that you would consider the Shanachie as a place of employment. I am very happy to be able to offer you a senior position in our make-up and costuming department. Your contract, job description, and sundry details are enclosed in this letter. There will be a period of probation, lasting six weeks, to ensure you are comfortable within our sometimes odd little theater, after which I am hopeful you will wish to continue on with us.
Welcome to the Shanachie!
All the best, Mataya De Luca
