For those of you that do not know what **the** entails, ….
……**They** plan has been executed with brilliance for hundreds of years.

She recently found **her self** back in the market and in search of the next great career adventure. Now Erica is an avid **outdoors woman**. …. It made sense that Trek was one of her targeted organizations to **woe.**

Why not make this one competitive, topical and passionate?”

As compared, perhaps, to grammatical, spelled correctly and safe to send to the paste-up group?

Great fun cover letter. A marketing person can get away with that, but not someone applying to a more buttoned up company or say applying to the finance department.

However, I hope she didn’t send this yet, because I found an error:

“…why I’m looking to become a Trek-ie (who cares if the Star Trek people have already coined that one) along my list of demands,…”

It should be: along WITH my list of demands.

I’m a certified proofreader and editor. I cannot stress enough that even if you’ve read your cover letter and resume a million times–have someone else look it over.
