Thank you Wes!
I was expecting a nice curt reply about ethics, and you called me out to come up with the facts! I should have guessed coming from a Quality forum!
Here are the facts;

Hey, I know what you are saying, a blind ad. But if you read it, it looks like they are looking for a change in quality and don't feel that they have anyone inside that can do it. If they are talking about ensuring a quality operation I can't complain about that.
Anyway, partly due to your prompting, I have made a cover letter that I would love some feedback on.
Please be brutally honest; I'd rather have it here than in the interview.
Thank you again.
