Personal Note

Working at the Football Shirt Emporium would be a fantastic opportunity, given my ever-increasing love for all things football, from watching games to expanding my shirt collection. As a regular customer, having an already existing relationship with those involved at the store would go a long way in creating a positive atmosphere among both workers and customers.
