Sure, it’s nothing great, but who can afford to be picky in this economy?
Well, we guess Dwyane Wade can. LOLz!
In response to a tweet from the Miami Heat player announcing he is looking for a new job due to the NBC lockout, KFC has offered him his old job taking orders at the fast food chicken joint’s drive-thru window!
The chicken company’s U.S. General Manager personally wrote the basketball star a letter — loaded with a bucketful of puns — to cordially offer him a spot on the KFC team in exchange for a donation in his name to the Colonel’s Scholars charity.
Think Dwyane will accept? If he does, we think KFC’s drive-thru will experience a small carmageddon of their own the days Wade is scheduled to work!
We say do it for the kids, Dwyane!
Check out the entire letter sent to the NBA player after the jump!
Dear Dwyane Wade,
We couldn’t help but notice your recent tweet about looking for a new line of work in light of the lockout. We’re always looking for folks with precisely your qualifications — initiative, teamwork, and the ability to make buckets in a hurry.
We’ve always been proud to call you a former KFC employee and, it goes without saying we’d love to have you back on our team dishing out the World’s Best Chicken, like you dish out assists on the court.
Our offer: Come serve as an honorary captain at a local KFC drive-thru window. And, while we can’t match your most recent salary, we’ll honor your KFC service by making a donation in your name to the Colonel’s Scholars, a charity providing young people with much needed college scholarships, if you accept. How’s that for a slam dunk?
So let us know if you’re ready to suit up for our squad (as you’ll remember, we’ve got some pretty cool uniforms). Our original coach, the legendary Colonel Sanders, knew a thing or two about buckets. And who knows, if you make a KFC-team comeback, we might just share some of his secrets with you.
We’ll keep your headset waiting.
Sincerely,
John Cywinski
General Manager, KFC U.S.
