Suzi's Cover Letter:

Dear Wild Ones:

Welcome to the jungle! I didn’tknow we had safaris here! I love adventure and I love giraffes! Can I pet one?

I saw the thingie about your dress code. Is it okay to wear khaki and one of those safari hats? I feel khaki complements my skin tone. I could wear a khaki one-piece swimsuit and the hat!!!

When it comes to crafts, I’m really good at making pot holders and angels. I have the kit! And when it comes to being green, I will gladly poop in the woods to save water. Nature to nature!
​

With the whole snore thing, I’m an expert. My pops has CPAP. But when it comes to walking backwards, I’m a little klutzy. But I will practice!

I’m really good at planning grown up sleepovers. My best was the Disney Princess theme. We all looked glittery, and I made adult drinks like: Snow White Russians & Lion King Dons.

And let me tell you about my mic skills! I could totally work your hawk box:

My name is Suzi
And we’re talkin’ ‘bout snoozies
This ain’t a bore
Lemme here ya roar!

Chat soon,
Suzi
