Dear Sir / Madam,

I am applying for a job as a miner, as well as any other that may be deemed necessary.

My name is Alexander Vale, born in year 782 to Josia and Ann Vale on planet Pittsburg, New York system, Liberty space. I am third of eight syblings - I have three brothers and four sisters. My father has risen to a shift manager in one of the boron mining operations on Pittsburg. I am a seventh generation miner, although my experience is entirely in land based operations. I have been a miner since my 18th birthday and have been taught at my job and at home to value hard work, family and teamwork.
Not long ago my family was lucky to win the Annual Pittsburg lottery, to the ammount of some several hundred million credits. With my share I took a long delayed vacation, during which I met on planet Curacao a miner who was recovering after a serious accident in Tau-23. He informed me of his intention to quit the mining bussines and sell his Hegemon mining ship. As I was already bored, being unaccustomed to so long a period without working, and having always dreames of space work, I did not think twice and invested all my remaining capital in buing his ship. When I arrived on Java, it become clear - as I expected - that space mining is not a solo job.

As I see it, the IMG is a group of hard working, dedicated people, who don't mind digging in, are not afraid of any work and always have each others' backs in a pinch. To be honest, it reminds me so much of my familly, that I feel almost at home here.

As far as how I may be usefull. I know how to work, don't mind long hours and lack of sleep, am willing to listen to advice and will obey orders when necessary. I am a lousy pilot at best, but will do anything suggested to improve. I own a Hegemon mining ship - the Rock.Muncher. I understand that I may be required to purchase and pilot one or more other ships and will strive to learn to pilot them well if so ordered.

I have been taught all of my life to work for my bread and butter. IMG is as good a place as any to earn a living, and in fact better than most others as I feel it. I miss working with good people, and as far as I am permitted to judge, IMG has some of the best ones.

I hope to hear from you soon.

At your service
All Vale
