LETTER 5-112: DIRECTOR OF DEVELOPMENT (FUNDRAISING)—CAREER CHANGE

Dr. Andrew Milhouse, President
The State University at Aurora
Campus Circle
Aurora, SC 09876
Dear Dr. Milhouse:
$500 million is not the most. It’s the average amount of money my fund- Killer
raising programs have generated for hospitals, private secondary opening!
schools, government programs, colleges, and universities.
This figure, attained through 22 years of intensive fund-raising
experience, equips me to assume the responsibilities of Aurora’s
Director of Development as rapidly and effectively as your needs
demand.
I have enclosed summaries of my background and those projects that
are most germane to your situation. As you’ll see, I have regularly built
the coalitions of citizens, alumni, and business and community leaders
with the power to make significant contributions, and to attract major
funding from others.
My success at The Broderick Group has been enormously gratifying.
However, I am eager to sacrifice the rigors of city life for the pleasures
of the country and academia, an environment I enjoyed years ago as a
professor of Economics.
Rather than let my credentials speak for themselves, I would enjoy
meeting with you in person. Business frequently brings me to your area,
so I will call you shortly to schedule an appointment.

With best regards,

Beth Daniels
