What would you put in your cover letter if you were me? Would you
mention a wpm claim that you are unsure of? Would you mention how many
years it has been since you've tested your skill? Would you just ignore
that requirement and hope you got an interview based on your other
sterling qualities? Etc., etc.

Fifty words per minute is not very fast for word processors. If you touch type, you should do well.

You can test your typing skills on-line in many places, such as:

http://www.typingtest.com/
http://www.learn2type.com/TypingTest
http://www.careerstep.com/typeintro.html

If you find you need typing practice, go to www. popcap.com and play Typer Shark. Dumb game, but you can increase your speed and skill there.
