Great tips, as always! I've used some of the more obvious ones, like letting a potential employer know how I can help them, but I love the one about adding a line with the word "because." I'll have to try it out!
Thanks Rosana. I have used the "because" word in different contexts and I believe it absolutely does work to increase the likelihood that you will get a yes to a request.
This reminded me that the two most lucrative occupations -- this is true -- are salespeople and entertainers. There's a nugget of wisdom there, even if neither of those are your occupation.

Thanks Ara. The only way I know to be an entertainer is through writing, the least lucrative pursuit. Oh well. :-)
