edit this email to make it more kind, respectful, and overall, very charismatic: Hi, EXPLORE WITH US!
My name is <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>, and I can't put into words how excited and honored I am to have this opportunity to apply for your full-time True Crime writing position. As a current part-time college student, I usually spend my free time watching your videos and would love the opportunity to be involved with making your high-quality videos. They're not only wonderfully crafted, but have made me explore other stories in true crime and led me to major in Political Science and Philosophy with a focus in pre-law, as my future career aspirations are to go into criminal justice and become a practicing defense attorney. 
With that, attached is my resume in case it's needed to understand more of my qualifications! I also have experience in writing for my university's journal, and, in my spare time, manage an Instagram book account where I read mystery, crime, and philosophy books, annotate them, and review them for my audience! With my passion and experienced combined as highlighted in my resueme, I trruly believe I'd be an amazing fit for this role.
As mentioned before, your channel has inspired me to learn more about true crime, and here's one of the cases I read up on while learning more about true crime (also my writing sample!):
"In the annals of true crime, few stories are as chilling and disturbing as that of Roch Thériault, an infamous Canadian cult leader and remorseless murderer who ruled over his followers with an iron fist, using fear, manipulation, and unspeakable acts of violence to maintain his twisted dominion.

Born on May 16, 1947, in rural Quebec, Thériault wasted no time in establishing himself as an evil presence in the world. Drawing upon a complex tapestry of religious and apocalyptic beliefs, many of which were inspired by his brief association with the Seventh-day Adventist Church—an organization that ultimately expelled him in 1978—Thériault founded the doomsday cult known as the Ant Hill Kids in 1977.

Over the course of his reign of terror, Thériault managed to enthrall a total of 12 adults and 22 children, forcing them into a nightmare existence characterized by abuse, fear, and torment. As a self-proclaimed prophet who insisted on being called Moïse, Thériault exerted total control over every aspect of his followers’ lives, meting out unconscionable acts of physical and sexual abuse as punishments for perceived transgressions.

The rural isolation of the Ant Hill Kids’ compound provided a gruesome stage for Thériault’s horrific acts. Some of his heinous “punishments” included suspending followers by their limbs from trees, nailing their hands to tables, or even amputating limbs without anesthesia. Thériault’s control over his followers was so strong that he was able to force them to participate in these atrocities against one another.

However, Thériault’s wicked tyranny did not escape the attention of law enforcement. In an incredible stroke of luck, one of Thériault’s abused followers, Gabrielle Lavallée, managed to flee the compound and sought help from authorities in 1989. Her harrowing story drew law enforcement attention to the Ant Hill Kids, ultimately leading to Thériault’s arrest on charges of assault. The subsequent legal proceedings dismantled the cult and exposed a litany of abominable crimes, resulting in Thériault’s conviction for the murder of Solange Boilard—one of his own followers—and the death of an infant. Sentenced to life imprisonment, Thériault languished in Dorchester Penitentiary until his own violent end in 2011, when he was murdered by his cellmate.

The monstrous legacy of Roch Thériault serves as a stark reminder of the unthinkable power that one individual can gain over others through the insidious tools of manipulation and fear. By delving deeply into the darkest corners of human nature and sharing this gruesome tale, we can raise awareness of such cases, learn to recognize manipulative tactics, and commit to fostering an environment in which conversations around prevention are at the forefront of public consciousness—so that no more lives need to be tragically ruined at the hands of cruel, predatory individuals like Thériault."


I really hope that this writing sample has deemed me a good fit for your team, and I look forward to hearing back! No matter the outcome, I love your guys' channel, and will never forget the wonderful videos and lessons that you all have been able to share to the YouTube community.
