Gainful Employment?

I have just received an offer for rather gainful employment. It would require:
  1. Abaya (provided);
  2. Niqab (provided);
  3. Surgery to enable me to speak in a soprano voice (provided);
  4. ID (provided; and, with the above, I should be able to pass for the rightful owner of the ID);
  5. Taking the IELTS and obtaining at least a 7.5.
Sadly, I felt obliged to decline.

(Caveat: Just because the rightful owners of the IDs insist on wearing the Abaya and niqab does not mean that they are Arabs, or even Muslims, only enterprising.)

Interesting. One of the arguments the University of Cairo had against niqabs was that people could cheat, sneak in, etc, without having to show their faces. Sounds pretty sketchy and funny too.
