Dear Juma B.,
Having considered your qualifications, I would like to offer you a visiting lectureship at Harvard Montessori.

Dear Dr. B. Lightyear:

I am willing to accept your offer on two conditions. 1) I get paid in candy and 2) I don't have to work past 8pm (my bedtime!).

Thank you for your time,
Juma B.

PS You're my hero!

Oh my goodness! This is such a cute idea! I love it. He is so qualified for his age! I hope it doesn't limit the jobs that he can get...you know, "You're overqualified for this position....blah, blah, blah."

Love,

Malia

He sometimes acts under-qualified for regular 4-year old jobs, like putting on his own socks and shoes. So maybe he could fake "Regular 4-year old" for certain circumstances. :)
