LETTER 5-30: PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER
Director, Human Resources
Santangelo Resources, Inc.
P.O. Box 1111
Needham, MA 09876
To the Director of Human Resources:
Your recent advertisement in the City Times attracted my attention
because I can offer you the precise qualifications you’re seeking in a
Public Relations Manager.
Possibly at a lower cost than a more senior executive might
demand. But with no less experience.
As you’ll see on the enclosed resume, I currently serve as Associate
Public Relations Manager for Columbia Data Systems. Because the
company’s success depends upon its reputation among a cross section of Short state-
users, I have worked diligently (and often around the clock) to secure ments add
positive publicity for Columbia. In a wide range of media. With a punch!
diversity of “stories.” Despite decreasing allocations.

Of greater significance is the fact that I fought and dispelled the harmful
rumors that surfaced as a result of the company’s microchip disaster last
fall. The crisis-management skills I have acquired are crucial to any major
corporate entity operating under the scrutiny of today’s news-hungry media circus.

I am confident that the media contacts, creativity, communication skills,
and crisis-management abilities I possess will prove invaluable to your
firm.
I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you. If you will call or
leave a message on my home answering machine, I will return your call
promptly.
Sincerely,

Thomas Hoover
