Mr. Grabow:

My name is Zach LeCount and I am a senior computer science major at DePauw University.  I was given your name by Mr. Tom Cath of the Career Services department at DePauw.  I am particularly interested in employment opportunities with Crowe Chizek in the Systems Consulting Group.  Crowe Chizek is not recruiting at DePauw, so I was looking for other options as to how to get in touch with your company.  thank you very much for your time and if you hear of any possible leads I would appreciate it greatly.

Sincerely,

Zach LeCount

Mr. Stanley M. Haude
Personnel Supervisor
Advertising Department
The Procter & Gamble Company
P.O. Box 599
Cincinnati, Ohio  45201

Dear Mr. Haude:

As a senior at DePauw University, I will be graduating in May with a B.A. Degree in English composition.  To give you an indication of my background, I have enclosed a resume that is currently being used to acquire a Winter Term internship.  At this time, I am gathering information about careers in advertising, and would be particularly interested in learning how advertising works from a corporate point-of-view.

I plan to be in Cincinnati during DePauw’s fall break, October 20-23.  If at all possible, I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you, or a member of your staff, at a convenient time on Friday, October 21st.  Because this is such short notice, I will be in contact with you on October 18th to see if we can arrange a meeting.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
