Go for an opportunity, but don't forge your envelope or letter to look
like it came from Ober.  They don't have quite the clout they once did,
and a fakery would NOT endear you to an editor, even if you sent a
brilliant piece.

Try being straightforward and write a riveting cover letter.  You'll
find that it works wonders in comparison to tomfoolery!
