Dear Ms. Nguyen:
I received your name and contact information from Mr. Jack Diogu, Jennings-Biltmore's Director of Media Relations. Mr. Diogu is a friend of my family, and he suggested that I write to you regarding possible job opportunities within your company.
I am currently a student in my fourth year of the International Business program at the University of Macy. I expect to graduate this May with a bachelor's degree in management, with a specialization in Asian languages. I currently hold fluency certificates in Mandarin and Korean, and will be taking my Japanese fluency exam next month. It is my goal to find a position with a company like yours where I can effectively combine these language skills with my management training.
I've enclosed a description of my qualifications and background, and have a list of references available upon demand. If you believe there may be an opening this spring that I am qualified for, please contact me at your earliest convenience to arrange an interview.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Shaun Langley

Subject: The Get Real! Program
The client and colleague evaluations we conducted six months ago have not produced encouraging results. President McClusky has been meeting with professional consultants who say employee stress levels are too high and that the morale in the office is low. They have strongly recommended that the president find a solution to the stress problem within the year.
We now have some promising news on that front. While president Mc.Clusky was at the annual Bar Association conference last month, he participated in a new program called Get Real!. He was so impressed with the results of this program - the effects it had on his colleagues and himself - that he has decided to hire the Get Real! company to come in and give us some in-house sessions.
According to their marketing literature, Get Real! Inc. provides realistic strategies for tackling stress in the workplace. They promise not to give us the same old, theoretical approaches which have circulated white-collar offices for the last decade. These methods were trendy, but have proven unsuccessful in boosting morale in the workplace.
If the evaluations at the end of the program don't show positive results, then President McClusky is guaranteed to get a refund.
The Get Real! program will run for four weeks and be held every Wednesday for two hours. Participation is mandatory. There will be a comprehensive evaluation at the end of the four-week session
