Probably will work. Once. As of January 15th, I'm sure this was the cover letter standard.

No amount of fancy education or special experience can equal the value of someone who will not blow smoke up your ***.

I've tried blunt. Sometimes it works, sometimes (most, I think) not. Probably doesn't hurt to try, since everyone knows that the other type are all bullshit.

I think the best way to learn communication skills is to try different approaches and see what works and what doesn't. So it was a good idea.

Blunt works very well if you know your audience well enough to guage their likely response to it. A single chance meeting a year ago probably doesn't afford one that level of familiarity.
