Dear Mr. Evil Editor,
I have spent five years writing a novel but spent a lifetime preparing for it.
I am a Dartmouth graduate with a B.A. in Electrical Engineering with a Robotics emphasis. As you are undoubtedly aware, Dartmouth is renowned for its scholars. To name only a few: Chris Miller, writer for National Lampoon and co-writer of Animal House; Jean Passanante, Head Writer for As the World Turns and recipient of Writer Guilds of America Award in 2007; David Benioff, screenwriter Troy, Stephen Geller, screenwriter Slaughterhouse-
I am unsure how many students at Dartmouth are the offspring of the rich and famous, I assure you that I am not one of them, having acquired a huge debt, (approximately $50,000 per quarter). I am, therefore, ‘in touch’ with your readership even though I graduated from an IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITY.
Founded in 1767 and located in the New Hampshire, Dartmouth has a flexible, unique calendar, (a quarter system), which gave me time to write and thoroughly edit my novel, while other students, (60%), used this flexibility to study abroad.
Please let me know when you are available to read my manuscript.

LOL. Very well done. :D
I wouldn't have thought it possible to write a query entirely about Dartmouth but I was wrong. This was very cleverly done.
Dartmouth? Pffft! It takes Yale or Harvard to truly impress!!
Talent by alumni association? Awesome!
Collegiate snobs unite! LOL...
The most famous graduate from my college was a likely pedophile. Very sick guy. At least you've got decent role models!
I love the bold-ed words. Hint, hint?
Oh, crap, it's my son-in-law.
Thank you. All credit, however, goes to my sister who can put these words: "in Orange County, California, where I live," into any topic of conversation, every other sentence.
It's a gift that only ivy league graduates and those that live in Orange County can acquire.
vkw
Mr. Rogers was a drop out? Really? I never would have thunk it.
Great job! (I mean the author, not that slacker Fred).
