11 Extremely Funny Cover Letters That People Actually Sent

There was once a time when bagging the job of your dreams entailed writing a short and simple cover letter that convinced the recruiter that you are insanely talented. These guys have skipped the talented element and just gone straight for the insane.

Hilarious cover letter examples

It will soon be that time of year again, when a deluge of enthusiastic graduates morph into desperate job seekers who are clambering to secure the job they have (literally) been dreaming of through countless two-hour-long lectures.

The majority of them will probably fall at the first hurdle. Not because their education sucks, but because they’re competing with every other Joe Monkey who has a college-level education and a resume that stresses their fantastic communication skills (read more: what not to write on a resume ). To get ahead of the pack, you have to distinguish yourself with your cover letter. But before you sit down and pen the perfect introduction to your sparkling resume, you’re going to have to do your research. To give you a helping hand, we’ve dug out some examples of funny cover letters that will most certainly give you some food for thought.

Here’s the thing. We’d actually hire some of these people. I mean, who can turn down a potential candidate whose cover letter divulges that she once donated her hair to charity? Or a guy who fights bears for a hobby? These are gems!

BTW: If you’re applying for hundreds of jobs but getting nowhere, our expert cover letter editing services can help you to finally put the rejection behind you.

How to write a (funny) cover letter

funny motivation letter

Let your humor shine through so they meet the real you.

I freaking love Glossier. I love it so much, I’ve brought every single one of my friends who visits NYC to their store, and I’m pretty sure a lot of the people working there know who I am by name. Plus, my friends always ask me about my favorite products and recommendations. I own every single flavor of their Balm Dotcom, use multiple Glossier products multiple times a day, and feel that I have earned the title “Glossier Queen.” Basically, the next step in my Glossier Journey™  would be to work for them. Or, maybe even better: get them to hire my mom (aka BEST Take Your Child To Work Day EVER). 

BACKSTORY/SPOILER: So I wrote a cover letter to Glossier about why they should hire me and my mom. From Glossier: crickets . WHAT? BUT! The founder of GOLD happened to see my letter, loved it, and hired me to write this article. So I did get a gig—and Glossier, I’m not giving up!

What’s so important about a cover letter? 

You are not a resume. You are a person. A cover letter is someone’s first impression of you, so it should show that you would be a good addition to the team—not only qualifications-wise but personality-wise. 

That’s why a cover letter doesn’t need to be meep morp robot-y. Stand out—be funny! From a decade (holy cow that’s a big number! Gimme an O! Gimme an L! Gimme a D!) of doing theater auditions, I’ve learned that you must stand out to be remembered by the director, which will increase the chance of you getting cast. For those of you who’ve had experience with theater, think of a cover letter as an audition. 

You want to be professional and show off your skills—and you want to stand out. Here’s how!

5 tips for using humor to make your letter sound human

Whether it’s for a summer camp counselor, baby food taste tester, or the ceo of a modern lifestyle brand that rhymes with “doop,” here’s what you need to get your cover letter the attention you deserve., 1. say hello (to a real person).

Research the proper contact, and address them by name. No one wants to read a letter to “Whom It May Concern,” unless their name is Whom It May Concern. Once you know who they are, say hi! It’s nice. I like to say “Hello, name of person who you’re writing to!” with an exclamation point because it shows that I am excited to apply for this job and do good work! Just not too many exclamation points after that! I think you see what I mean!

2. Introduce yourself with ~pizzazz~

Tell them a little bit about yourself. Just a taste—like you have experience in something that relates to what you want to be doing. This is a good place to be authentically funny, or at least charming, if it feels natural. 

Here and elsewhere, this doesn’t mean you need to write an actual joke with a setup and a punchline and a clever tag. It’s more an opportunity to add a bit of very specific and colorful detail, like, if you’re me: “I own every single flavor of Balm Dotcom and am on my third Boy Brow.” ( Humor is like ranch dressing. A little with some carrots, broccoli, etc. is good. Great, even! But most people are really weirded out when you just eat a whole lot of it with a spoon.) Also: this is not the place for self-deprecating humor, like “College was awful, like me!!1!1!1!1!!!!” 

3. But also be straightforward where needed.

People like people who make them laugh, but they also like people who are the right fit for the job with a good work ethic and passion. Be clear about:

  • What gig you want.
  • Why you want to work there: What are their values? Mission? Why work for them instead of somewhere else?
  • What you can help them with: Childcare? Research? Taking over multinational corporations? Get specific about the tasks you are ready to roll your sleeves up to do.

This is where you show that you know when to be funny/charming and also when to get down to bizness.

4. Do! Not! Sell! Yourself! Short! 

When you talk about your qualifications, don’t be afraid to let your personality shine through, even as you aim to communicate concrete and important info. Try to paint a picture and describe, rather than just using Resume Words like “detail-oriented” or “self-starter.” Instead of saying you’re “super-organized,” you can say that you color-code your color-coding pens inside a color-coded pencil case. In other words, where it’s not too forced, show, don’t tell!  

5. End with a call to action

Tell whoever you’re emailing what you are hoping to get from them, other than a job: a response. For those of you who are new to writing cover letters, it sounds a bit strange to tell them to respond, but ya gotta do it. Schedule a Skype call or meeting IRL—just do what you’ve gots2do.

The easiest way is just to slide it in during the sign off.  Try “Looking forward to hearing from you soon.”

I’ll end by sharing with you my letter to Glossier. Maybe it will be helpful to you—or maybe they’ll see it here and reconsider. (See: I’m SHOWING, not just telling, that I’m “dedicated.”)

Good luck landing your dream gig—by being yourself!

Hello friends at Glossier!!

My mother and I are beloved fans of Glossier. Both of us would ~love~ to work at your company; alas she has had over two decades of startup experience, including “IPO” (her words, not mine), which was funded by the Lauder family, therefore she would be a better fit for a job. She is, as you probably just read, very experienced with high growth startups, but more importantly, awesome, innovative, and smart. I think she would make an excellent addition to your team. (LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tereza )

Now let’s talk about me: I attended a year of school at Leaf Academy in Bratislava, which focuses on Entrepreneurial Leadership, focusing on design thinking. Through this program, I’ve helped to plan multiple events such as Model European Parliament SK, Startup Weekend Bratislava, Sensorium Digital Arts & Culture Festival, and Výťah Space Conference. In addition, I have extensive experience with social media (being Gen Z, of course).

This past year, I’ve discovered my passion for the environment and sustainability—specifically sustainable skincare and clothing brands. It is extremely important to me, as someone who will be alive to experience the effects of climate change, that lifestyle companies that use their power as drivers of how people go about their lives step in and take action towards climate change. 

I own every single flavor of Balm Dotcom and am on my third Boy Brow, I never go downtown without stopping by the Glossier store—I always bring my friends. In fact, most of my friends refer to me as something along the lines of “Glossier Queen” which is accurate. I attend school in Europe but will be home from July 1 st to August 30 th . If you wanted to hire me instead, I think my mom would be okay with that.

Our favorite Glossier products are Boy Brow, Lash Slick, and of course, Generation G in Leo, Jam, and Poppy.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read (or not – that’s okay too) this email. Although this is written in a jokey way, I really think she would be a great addition to the team. I would love nothing more than a “take your kid to work day” at the Glossier office.

If you would (hopefully!!) like to reach out to my mom, her LinkedIn is above.

Margot Hulme is a high schooler living in New York. Not upstate NY, but just outside New York City. When she’s not studying for the SATs (shoutout class of 2021), Margot is probably playing piano or browsing the King Arthur Flour catalog. Ya know, just for fun.

10 Funny Cover Letters We Found On The Internet

Creativity counts for something, right?

Not Available Lead

Especially nowadays, finding a good job can be nearly impossible. There's a constant struggle between how you present yourself to any given company and what they offer you in return. You have to make sure your resumé is flawless, with a cover letter to match no less. Some people, however, often take a slightly different approach to constructing their cover letters. Here, we've complied the funniest cover letters to ever hit the Internet. And athough these are indeed ridiculous, they may, in fact, be crazy enough to land you that dream job.

The Microsoft Word Art Cover Letter

Not Available Interstitial

Finally! Someone figured out the official purpose for Microsoft Word. Contrary to popular belief, it's not for kindergarteners with poor artistic abilities, it's for drafting cover letters.

The I'm The Man Cover Letter

Not Available Interstitial

As explained, this cover letter can be used for just about any situation. Just be sure to remind everyone that you're humble and the rest should take care of itself.

The I Have A Plan (And It Must Be Accomplished In This Specific Order) Cover Letter

If anyone deserves a job it's a man with a plan, right? Preferably one that involves taking care of his mom, wife, kids, and just about anything else that may make you say "aww" to hire him.

The Nick Cage Photo Is Definitely Going To Get Me This Job Cover Letter

This Nicholas Cage meme should scare your future employer just enough for them to give you a job. Realistically, only crazy people would attach something so creepy.

The Straight To The Point Cover Letter

When all else fails, just don't write anything at all. Remember, it's better to stay silent and have people wonder if you're stupid, than open your mouth and prove them right.

The I'm Probably A Douche Cover Letter

When describing yourself always be sure to mention obscure talents. As seen in this case, how can you not hire a person who is ranked 80th in the world for yo-yoing? Also: This person is probably a douchebag.

The Three P's Cover Letter

One of two things is going on here. This person is either extremely creative or extremely stoned. Either way, he should be considered for a job because his imagination clearly knows no bounds.

The I Attended The Dude's Funeral To Make Sure His Position Was Open Cover Letter

Paying your respects? Ain't nobody got time for that when there's a job opening. And if sheer audacity doesn't work, just follow suite and tell your employer you caught them red-handed in a lie. That should seal the deal.

The I Have Cat-Like Reflexes Cover Letter

In retrospect this person has the right idea. When giving references, always give your own phone number. Because if you don't love yourself, who else will?

The My Favortie Color Is Toupe Because It Rhymes With Dope Cover Letter

When constructing a quality cover letter make sure to check off all the things you're awesome at. And always remember, when sending in a cover letter, don't even give the employer an opportunity to call you back. Just show up the next day, because that's how dope you are.

Motivation Letter Writing Guide + Examples for 2024

Background Image

Writing a motivational letter can be nerve-wracking.

When presented with the question of “Why would you like to be part of this organization?” you find yourself staring at a blank page, thinking of how to correctly word “ I'm passionate about going to college so I don’t starve to death. ”

Two hours and three coffees in, you’ve scrolled through your Facebook newsfeed (twice), watched one episode of the last season of Game of Thrones, sent angry tweets to its creators, and donated for the knee surgery of two dogs. You go back to your open Word doc and you have only managed to write: “This organization seems like fun” or “I’ll totally be a great fit” . 

You know you are not this generic or basic. You’re a capable guy or gal who has a lot to offer and there are genuine reasons behind your decision to apply.

It’s just hard to put it into words… And we get that!

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of creating a motivation letter that gets you accepted anywhere.

  • What a Motivational Letter Is (And Why It Matters)

How to Structure a Motivational Letter

  • How to Write a Motivational Letter [+Some Helpful Tips to Get Those Ideas Out of Your Head and Into the Paper]
  • How (and Why) to Create a Motivational Letter With Novorésumé

What is a Motivational Letter and Why it Matters?

A motivational letter is a one-page letter that’s used to describe why you are the perfect candidate for a certain position . It is usually attached to your resume . 

You are required to write a motivational letter in these 4 specific scenarios...

  • You are applying to get admitted to an educational program at a college or university (undergraduate, graduate, or postgraduate).
  • You are applying to work at a non-profit organization.
  • You are applying as a volunteer in an organization.
  • You’re applying for an internship in a company.

The motivational letter shouldn’t be confused with a cover letter , the purpose of which is to highlight how specific information on your resume matches a job opening. Think of a cover letter as the introduction to your resume for a hiring manager and your motivational letter as the powerful closing sales pitch for a university or non-profit. 

So why exactly does the motivational letter matter? You’re a doer more than a talker: you’ve listed everything there is to know about you on your resume. That should be enough, right? Wrong! 

All organizations are looking for people who genuinely want to be there and are excited about what they do. The intent should be your driving motivation! 

Writing a good motivational letter can be an absolute game-changer. It can provide a boost for your resume , but also make up for lacking required skills.

A good motivational letter is a one-pager where you introduce yourself, your story, and show your interest in the position or organization you are applying to.

There are two main ways to structure your motivational letter:

  • Using the classic 3 main paragraphs structure , where your motivational letter has the introduction, the body, and the conclusion.
  • Using the 5-7 paragraph structure , where you divide your main body paragraph into smaller 1-3 sentence paragraphs according to the main points.

Now, which one do YOU go for? The rule of thumb is if you want to be more factual and to the point, go for the 7-paragraph structure. This way, you can use each body paragraph to discuss specific achievements or points.

If, on the other hand, you’re going for a more story-telling approach, you’d go for the 3 paragraph option, so as not to break the flow of the story.

The Structure of a Motivational Letter

motivation letter structure

Whichever structure you go for, it should consist of 3 main parts: the introduction, body, and conclusion. Here’s what to include in each one:

Introduction: A short, engaging pitch about yourself and why you are applying. Here, you can include:

  • Personal information. Who are you and what do you do?
  • What are you applying for? Where?
  • An intro to the bulk of your essay. Mention the general reason on why you’re applying, and then deep-dive in the bulk of your motivational letter.

And of course, don’t forget to mention contact information on top.

For example:

To: School/Organization Name

First Name Last Name

[email protected]

Phone Number

Relevant Social Media (LinkedIn, Quora, GitHub, etc.)

Dear [Name of The Contact Person] , 

My name is [Your name] and I would like to express my interest in applying for the Doctoral program in political science at [University Name] . I’ve always dreamed of becoming a politician and helping give back to my country, and I believe that a Ph.D. in politics from [University Name] would set me miles ahead to reaching my goal.

Body of the Motivational Letter: this is the main bulk of your motivational letter. This is where you really sell yourself, mentioning stories behind your achievements, skills, and passion for whatever you’re applying for.

Try to be as factual as possible - anyone that frequently reads motivational letters can tell made-up stories from the real ones. When possible, you can also use metrics to back up your qualifications.

Things You Can Mention in Your Motivational Letter: 

  • My passion for ______ started when ______. 
  • I want to ______ because ______. 
  • I have been part of _________ for ___ months/years. It’s the best thing for me because _______. 
  • I remember once when I ________, which made me realize that I _______.
  • _______ resonates with me because _________.
  • What distinguishes me from my peers is __________.

I developed my passion for Online Marketing during my internship at [company name] . Working in a small startup allowed me to get surface-level experience in most digital marketing channels. Now, I would like to deep-dive and gain advanced know-how by attending the [university name] program in Digital Marketing.

Conclusion: 

Finally, you can wrap up the motivational letter and send it in. In this section, you can:

  • Briefly summarize your main points - “ I believe I’d be a good fit for the program because of __________ ”
  • Mention your overarching goal - “I’d love to be a part of _______, as it would allow me to ___________.”
  • Thank the reader and conclude the motivational letter

Now that you know how to structure a motivational letter, let’s move on to the contents!

How to Write a Motivational Letter 

So how do you write a motivational letter that stands out from the pool of applicants? The way to avoid generalizations and add depth to your motivational letter is by tailoring it to the specific organization and program/position you are applying to:

  • When writing a motivational letter, you want to make sure you know what and where you are applying to. Find out who is in charge of deciding your fate and address them directly in your opening remarks as Dear Mrs. Smith .
  • Look at the program requirements and the institution’s website. Find out the top three requirements for the position and explain how you are the best candidate.
  • Demonstrate that you share the organization’s values or are exceptionally qualified through a short story or personal examples. Be specific.
  • Your motivational letter should demonstrate that you really want to be there! There is a fine line between pleading and showing intelligent interest while also selling yourself. State specific reasons, demonstrate knowledge and express passion for applying to the institution or organization without showing off or begging.
  • DO NOT LIE! If you write anything remotely untrue, your reader will sense it. Unconsciously, we inflate feelings and ideas when we lie. If you tell a fake story or inflate your excitement or achievements, you will be put into the “lying Pinnochio pile” . Consider your case rested and your application denied.

Questions to Answer in Your Motivational Letter [+Possible Answers]

  • I would love to live in [ location of organization ], because ________. 
  • It is my dream to be part of [ name of program ], because _________.
  • The values [ name of institution ] is based on are: [ three general values stated on their website ]. I have demonstrated _____ because I have ______ especially in ______. I also practice ______ in my professional or working life by __________. 
  • Requirement: Minimum 2 years of volunteering experience

I volunteered in Africa for three years. It’s one of my most fulfilling experiences because I am passionate about helping others and came out a better person. I would do it again in a heartbeat.

  • Requirement: Passionate about research

I would pick a sleepless night conducting research instead of a night out anytime. I spend most of my mornings reading the last edition of the Journal of Marketing. I have worked on three separate research studies during my time at Colorado University.

  • Requirement: 3,80 GPA

Achieving a Magna Cum Laude required a lot of hard work and dedication, but education has been my biggest passion in life, so there was more joy than pain in the process!

Answer some/all of these questions in a compelling way that’s true to you and your experience, then turn them into a cohesive text. 

An Example of a Great Motivational Letter 

We’ll demonstrate how to write an awesome and inspiring motivational letter through Jane’s letter to the admissions team of Harvard University below. She is applying for a Ph.D. in the department of Political Science. 

The general requirements are : being research inclined, a demonstrated passion for Politics, and an above average performance during undergraduate studies. 

The values of the university are integrity, education, respect, and accountability.

She’s using the three paragraph structuring method.

You can see how Jane highlights through personal stories:

  • That she knows the history of the university and shares the same values
  • That she’s genuinely excited and passionate about the program and the school
  • What her qualifications are and how they’ll be a great fit for the program
  • What she hopes to achieve if given the opportunity to study at Harvard

The same rules and spirit apply to non-university related motivational letters as well. 

You can easily notice that Jane has essentially given a personal story of all his qualifications. After reading this letter, the admissions team will feel like they know Jane, and this is what you should also aim to do: communicate who you are through highlighting your story tailored to the institution and program you are applying for.

How (and why) to Create a Motivational Letter with Novorésumé

Now that you know how to write a motivational letter, you can decide on how it looks.

A black and white letter sheet with Times New Roman, 12-pt font size might be great for a formal document, but it does not make you stand out in the pile of grey applications.

How can you appear professional without being boring? Novorésumé's motivational letter templates and intuitive editor add the tinge of personality that you’d need to stand out from the rest. 

motivation letter maker

So, let’s sum up everything we’ve covered in this post:

  • A motivational letter is a formal letter which you need to write if you’re applying for university/college admissions, a non-profit, or a volunteering institution. Job applications usually require a cover letter instead.
  • There are two ways to structure a motivational letter: in three paragraphs (introduction, body, conclusion) or in 5-7 paragraphs (where each paragraph highlights a different point).
  • Introduce yourself and your intent in the introduction, describe and highlight your experiences in the body, and thank the reader for his/her consideration in the conclusion.
  • Do your research, show genuine interest, and never, ever lie.
  • If you want your motivational letter to stand out, Novorésumé takes the cake!

A motivational letter is always attached to a resume. Want to also make that stand out from the rest?

Motivational humor—how jokes can get you through the day

According to the Mayo Clinic, research shows that laughter has a number of physiological and mental benefits . In the short term, laughter can reduce stress, stimulate various organs, and relax your muscles. It may also offer long-term benefits, including relieving pain, boosting your immune system, and enhancing your mood. In addition to providing physical and mental health benefits, humor may serve as motivation throughout the day.

While we all experience concerns that are very real, other concerns sometimes seem humorous in hindsight. Whether it’s an argument you had over something trivial or something you were embarrassed about that ended up being irrelevant, there are ways to find the humorous in everyday life, and these moments may boost your motivation during an average day.

Below, we’ll look at how humor isn’t just a way to kill time and take your mind off serious topics. It can also serve as a mental tool for motivating yourself and getting through the day with your happiness intact.

Humor therapy is a real thing

Humor’s impact on our happiness can be so profound that there are fields of therapy dedicated to using it to improve people’s everyday lives. One study published in the Journal of Aging Research explored humor therapy for senior citizens with chronic pain . The study was carried out over the course of eight weeks and found a 40% increase in happiness among participants when compared to a control group. The recipients of the therapy reported not only increased happiness but also a decrease in their pain, which suggests that regularly engaging with humor may yield physical benefits, too.

However, “humor therapy” as a focused practice isn’t always necessary to get results. Simply finding time in your day to engage with the humorous aspects of life can be an effective way to start building a more positive psychology and an overall better sense of well-being.

Practices for daily use

To use humor for daily motivation, it may help to remind ourselves that some of the problems we face may not be as bad as we think. This isn’t to say that people’s problems aren’t real. Some people experience mental health challenges that require the care of a physician or mental health professional. However, for lesser problems, taking a humorous point of view may provide a fresh perspective. Below are a few ways to keep the funny flowing throughout the day:

Use humor as a distraction

Humor can sometimes serve as a form of distraction. For example, some people choose to distract themselves with a funny cat video on YouTube to cheer themselves up. As silly as it may seem, that can be a useful distraction during a rough patch during your day. You might try to have funny videos, GIFs, or other comedic distractions on hand to distract yourself once or twice during an average day. 

Research shows that the act of laughing reduces the effect of stress hormones in your body. For this reason, you might try to find opportunities to laugh. In addition to using technology to find humor, you might try to spend time with the people you find funny. 

Sometimes, even just knowing that you have someone or something close by that will cheer you up can make your day feel more bearable. Those few refreshing moments of humor can make the tasks at hand seem not quite so burdensome. After a brief distraction, you may find it easier to get back to your tasks, and you might even be more productive.

Find an excuse to laugh

In addition to seeking out humor from others, you may benefit from making other people laugh. This strategy involves putting yourself out there a bit more, but it may be just as rewarding—if not more so—than laughing at someone else’s jokes. If you’re going to work and aren’t sure how you’re going to make it through a busy day, it may help to think of something funny you might tell a colleague or friend when you find some downtime. It could be something from last weekend or just something odd you overheard the other day.

You may find that making others laugh leads them to share humorous situations with you, which can lead to a more enjoyable, mutually beneficial work environment.

Beyond humor: Finding help for life’s challenges

While humor can sometimes help during stressful times, some challenges may require professional support. If you’re experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition, you don’t have to face it alone. There are licensed therapists available with experience in your areas of concern. If you’re not feeling well enough to see a therapist in the office, you might consider  online therapy , which many studies have demonstrated to be effective for a number of mental health conditions, including anxiety and depression. 

Online therapy allows you to choose from online therapists all over the country. With an online therapy platform like BetterHelp , you can talk to a therapist via phone, live chat, or videoconferencing at a time that works for you.

  • “Fun is one of the most important, and underrated, ingredients in any successful venture. If you’re not having fun, then it's probably time to call it quits and try something else.” - Richard Branson

  • “You gotta have fun. Regardless of how you look at it. We’re playing a game. It’s a business, it’s our job, but I don’t think you can do well unless you’re having fun.” - Derek Jeter
  • “A successful competition for me is always going out there and putting 100 percent into whatever I’m doing. It’s not always winning. People, I think, mistake that it’s just winning.

  • “Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?” - Edward Bergen
  • “By working faithfully eight hours a day you may eventually get to be boss and work twelve hours a day.” - Robert Frost

Which makes you happy?

While the activities or components of life that make a person happy can be unique to each individual, there are some behaviors that may have a more significant chance of producing positive feelings, including:

  • Exercise: Research suggests that physical activity can increase life satisfaction and happiness among individuals of any age. This effect may increase with moderate and high levels of physical activity. 
  • Forming Healthy Relationships: Caring for the well-being of others and forming healthy relationships may also increase happiness. In many cases, this can be accomplished by engaging in open communication, developing positive conflict resolution skills, and being honest about your needs with others. 
  • Practicing Mindfulness: Mindfulness can help individuals be happier by avoiding negative thought patterns and focusing on the present moment. This may be accomplished in a number of ways, including through journaling, meditation, or by seeking the help of a mental health professional. 

Why does laughter make me feel better?

One of the reasons that laughter can make us feel better is due to its ability to release endorphins . These neurotransmitters, which are released by different parts of the brain like the pituitary gland and hypothalamus, can suppress hormones like cortisol in order to reduce stress levels. Endorphins can also act as a natural mood booster, which may alleviate feelings of discomfort and create a better overall sense of well-being. Laughter can also help us bond with others, which can help us create more healthy social connections. This socialization benefit can not only bring us further happiness but may help to establish a strong support system for us to rely on in the future. 

Why is it better to laugh and be happy?

Laughter can have a number of benefits, including:

  • Mood Improvement: Laughter can release endorphins, a type of neurotransmitter that can help suppress the production of stress hormones like cortisol. This can also improve your mood and may help to lessen the effects of conditions like depression and anxiety. 
  • Ability to Decrease Pain: Another benefit of the endorphins released by laughter may be a decrease in pain. By increasing an individual's pain threshold, laughter may act as a “natural painkiller,” relaxing the muscles and allowing for a brief higher intake of oxygen.
  • Social Benefits: Laughter may also help to improve social connections and strengthen relationships. By laughing, you may have more opportunities to resolve conflicts amicably and can increase the amount of bonding that takes place during social gatherings.

BEST IDEA: The single most effective way Brad can help you get a huge return on your investment  is to sign copies of his book AT THE SPONSORS table or exhibit space in the exhibit hall. Usually the sponsor will buy a book for each attendee, and then Brad announces from the stage that thanks to ‘Acme Company’ everybody gets a books. He builds it up; he makes it a huge deal. They’ll clap and cheer. (It feels like Oprah!)

Best of all, they will ALL make their way to the exhibit hall (or wherever else you want them) where they will line up, get the free book, and get access to your products, services and messages. If you like, we can have special stickers printed for the books with your messaging and logos.

Mr. Montgomery has worked with sponsors in the past, and assures us that he is adept at assuring that your return on your sponsorship dollars will be well worth the investment. (He has a unique way of using humor to highlight the details of your company and product or services, and would love to talk to you about it. Feel free to call Brad at 303.691.0726 or allow us to set up a conference call with all three of us.

You and any other representatives of (Name of Company) would be most welcome to attend so that we could thank you personally for your support.

The estimated audience of (Number) (physicians, nurses and other support staff) would benefit tremendously from your generosity. The cost to sponsor the educational program would be (Cost). I would be most appreciative of a telephone call to let me know of your interest.

You may reach me at (Phone Number). I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for considering this request.

PS.  After talking with Brad I’ve come to understand that he has a very good feel for how to meet your needs of making sure our attendees know about you, your products and your services while still meeting our needs of making sure the keynote is not a “commercial.”  I’m convinced that this is a win-win idea, and that Brad has a WAY better-than-average idea about how to make this a success for us all.   Let’s give it a go!
