Ms. Margaret Shaffer
Recruitment Coordinator
International Cosmetics Corporation
35 Main Street
Fort Wayne, IN 22233


Dear Ms. Shaffer:

   I am currently a senior business administration student at West Virginia University.
Having read about the tremendous opportunities available at International Cosmetics
Corporation in the ABC Employment Guide, I am interested in obtaining employment in your public relations division.

   As my enclosed resume indicates, I have had extensive practical experience in public
relations. My summer employment with Jones and Jones provided me with the opportunity to
prepare fifteen press releases and to develop copy for five brochures in addition to working as
part of a team, talking to clients and performing other public relation duties. This experience,
combined with my academic performance, can benefit International Cosmetics Corporation in
continuing efforts to maintain and improve its position in the cosmetic industry.

   I plan to visit Fort Wayne during the week of March 4-10 and would welcome the
opportunity to meet you personally. I will telephone you on February 9 to arrange a meeting time.

  Thank you for your consideration of my employment request.

							Sincerely,

							(Signature)
							Mary L. Adams
