It’s been doing the rounds on the internet for a while it seems, but recruiter.co.uk was quite amused (and slightly distressed) at one of the most bizarre job application letters you’ll ever likely see…
A picture of the letter – where the applicant and company name are hidden - is available online in a myriad of places.

“Application for Employment
I refer to the recent death of the Technical Manager at your company and hereby apply for the replacement of the deceased Manager.
Each time I apply for a job, I get a reply that there's no vacancy but in this case I have caught you red-handed and you have no excuse because I even attended the funeral to be sure that he was truly dead and buried before applying.

Thank you.
Yours sincerely”
