OK, aptitude test number 1:

Can you find your way out of the room you are in?

If yes, you are hideously over-qualified for this position. I would write to you and explain why, but I've eaten the top off my crayon.

Why would I want to find my way out of your Rum? I want to be in the Rum - send me some rum and I'll try and find my way out of it - Im not promising anything though.

Apart from the aptitude test, I'd recommend [livejournal.com profile] itsjustaname as suitably pedantic, and stubborn to boot.

Right! Rum on its way!

Envelope's a bit soggy I'm afraid...

Correct qualities undoubtedly

She seems to take great pleasure in correcting people's grammar, however. You might have to pay in vodka, though, I'm not sure she likes rum.

Hi, thought I should let you know that there is a service available that will act as a sort of Bureau de change for booze.

Currently the exchange rate between vodka and rum isn't terrible but it's still 1.125L rum = 1.000L vodka.
