I'm a Peace Corps volunteer who was invited (with the rest of the in-country volunteers) to the Ambassadorial residence for Thanksgiving dinner. Now, I'd like to send a thank-you message on behalf of my group for the invitation, but don't really know how to proceed beyond that.<br> <br> Is there a protocol (beyond using titles as opposed to given/family names) that I should be observing? Preferred/suggested verbiage? A specific level of formality? This is a world I've never inhabited before, and am uncertain as to how to approach. Suggestions greatly appreciated. tag:ask.metafilter.com,2007:site.77300 Wed, 28 Nov 2007 07:26:34 -0800 ambassador protocol thankyou the luke parker fiasco http://ask.metafilter.com/10887/What%2Ddoes%2Dit%2Dtake%2Dto%2Dbecome%2Dan%2Dambassador%2Dor%2Dhigh%2Dconsular%2Dofficer Say one wanted to one day serve as the US ambassador to (or is it of...) a particular country. Or if that seemed out of reach, maybe the Consulate General / Consulate to (again, or is it of...) a particular country. Or if even that seemed out of reach, and hell just get a job in the embassy or work for the Consulate. So, any chance an everyday average Joe, with a clean record, and a sharp intellect could get such a gig? Or is it just for former senators, congressmen, and big donors to political campaigns? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2004:site.10887 Tue, 12 Oct 2004 23:29:12 -0800 ambassador consulate job resolved pwb503
