Letter to Selection Committee

To the Selection Committee of Adorjanx:

It has come to my attention that the country of Adorjanx is seeking the leadership and
guidance of a dynamic ruler. Please consider this letter for the position of absolute monarch of
Adorjanx.
I am a strong and dynamic leader as demonstrated by my reign of Russia. I have
successfully extended the borders of my country by acquiring the lands of Southern Ukraine and
Crimea and I am a huge supporter of enlightenment and education. I am dedicated to improving
the lives of the citizens of Russia and I can do the same for Adorjanx.
Although I have many accomplishments as ruler of Russia, I would like to highlight two
of the most significant. First, I have promoted and improved trade and development, which has
directly and positively impacted our economic success. Second, I am a strong believer in
education for both men and women. Under my leadership, the number of state and private
schools in Russia has greatly increased. Both of these accomplishments are featured on my
Fabcebook page for your review.
I anticipate there will be other candidates under consideration. However, I am the
absolute best choice and stand above all other available contenders. In the event you are
considering Maria Theresa please note that she has a reputation for engaging in long, drawn out
wars which are not always successful. I am much more thoughtful about entering into conflicts.
In addition, she does not supporter the enlightenment as I do, which would negatively impact the
education, civil and human rights of the citizens of Adjornax.
In closing, if you are seriously looking for an absolute monarch who will improve the
lives of the citizens of your country through strength and intellect, look no further. I am perfect
for the job. I am available to discuss my qualifications in greater detail. Please call me at
724558-6565 to set up a personal meeting.

Sincerely,

Catherine the Great
