Mr. Howard Sturm
Personnel Manager
Modern Advertising, Inc.
1440 Michigan Ave.
Chicago, IL 60611

Dear Mr. Sturm:

Thank you for meeting with me last Thursday, March 14, to discuss the copywriter position at Modern Advertising. I was quite impressed with the enthusiasm you displayed for Modern Advertising's future and the helpfulness of your office personnel. Learning about Modern's present media campaign for the Houston Sausage Company was exciting and demonstrated your creative approach to advertising. Modern Advertising is a company where I would like to apply my skills and talents.

Your description of the special qualifications needed for this position was especially interesting. My ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines has already been proven in the advertising position I held with the Colmbia Missourian. As I stated at our meeting, I enjoy the challenge of a competitive environment in which success is based on achievement.

I would also like to mention that since our meeting I have received the College Reporter's Award for an article I had published in the Columbian Missourian. This is my first national award, and I am quite encouraged by this approval of my work.

Again, thank you for considering me for the position of copywriter. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Lisa Martin
