Letter of Application

88 Franklin St.

New York City,

United States

January 1, 1900

      I would be honored to have the opportunity to fill any engineering position that the exposition may require. I was informed of the position by a former colleague after leaving the Continental Edison Company, and the positions seems to require many of the expertise and experience which I possess. These expertise will be corroborated by my former employer Thomas Edison in a letter of recommendation. 

    After carefully examining the requirements for the exposition, I believe that my work in the bourgeoning field in robotics would perfectly fit the criteria. Though everything I discuss is hypothetical, I believe that it would be entirely possible to construct an automaton that functions as a human being. My intention is to meet with other inventors and engineers at the convention to make this hypothesis a reality. I believe I have already proven my innovation and engineering prowess through my other inventions, including the induction motor, wireless telegraphy, and the remote control. 

     I thank you for your consideration, and I sincerely hope that you grant me this opportunity to further the technological advancement of the human race. I will of course be in touch, and if you have any questions or concerns, I would be happy to address them. 

     

Yours sincerely,

Nikola Tesla
