Cover Letter: Sumo Superstar

Dear Tom Sumo:

My brother (a senior in genetics at U of Wisconsin) and I (a graduate student in architecture and structural engineering at U of Illinois) are pretty sure we've eaten our weight in jelly beans this Easter (esp. purple). We were so enjoying them that we thought "Could we ever do this for a living?"

Answer, yes.

When we saw you and your friends competing on ESPN, we knew this was for us. We've always shoveled well, and while we aren't sure whether that will translate to being good at shoving or not, we're willing to give it a try. Mainly we just want to eat more jelly beans. Have you ever considered sprinkling the ring with jelly beans rather than rice? That would make your organization both silly and delicious!

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Daniel L. Signorelli
