Dear Mr. Fouche,
Nancy Jones of Green & Associates Advertising,
suggested I contact you regarding the possible
public relations opening in your firm.
As an editor/writer for Alexandria's city
magazine, I've developed my talent and experience
as a public relations writer. Because the staff
is very small, I've worn a number of hats,
including: developing the editorial format and
individual story concepts, writing numerous
articles, editing copy, laying out the magazine,
and supervising production.
Prior to my current position, I was highly
involved in the public relations industry, working
for Jones & Jones, where I prepared numerous press
releases and media guides, as well as managing
several major direct mail campaigns.
My high degree of motivation has been recognized
by my previous employers who have quickly promoted
me to positions of greater responsibility. I was
promoted from assistant editor to editor of
Alexandria Monthly after only five months.
I am eager to talk with you about the contribution
I could make to your firm. I will call you the
week of April 25th to see if we can find a mutual
time and date to get together and discuss the
possibility.
Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
Cordially,
Mary Davison
