I would like to request more information about the assistant job I saw advertised in Sunday’s newspaper with the six-figure starting salary.

Is it a strict requirement that I live with the boss? If so, can I have friends and others over? 3. The ad states there is a uniform. May I ask what sort of uniform? And why?

Will we get what we came for, or will our combined foe threaten the safety of us all? And will the delights I find in the dark of night, still be with me when the day breaks?
