Dr. Joel E. Newall
Director, University Relations
University of Nebraska-Omaha
Omaha, NE 68132

Dear Dr. Newall:

I'd like to thank you for taking the time to interview me for the staff writer position you have open.

I enjoyed meeting with you and am confident we could have an excellent working relationship.

Especially after meeting with you, I am positive that my background and expertise are a perfect fit for the job and its requirements.

Recapping my strengths and fit with the position:
  • my previous short-term stints as staff writer with two suburban Lincoln colleges provided excellent experience;
  • my newspaper editing background would be an enormous asset because I have the inside track on what editors are looking for;
  • my ongoing efforts with my highly-touted social media blog gives me the insights and skills to greatly enhance UNO's position;
  • my excellent "people skills" would enable me to fit into your congenial atmosphere as well as work well with the media and the university community.

I am also enclosing a piece I wrote expressing some of my ideas on how PR people can have greater success getting their publicity placed in the media, includiing social media outlets.

Thank you again, Dr. Newall, for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you around the first of the year.

Sincerely yours,


Carl Carlsburg

I seriously gave a thought to all the problems that have aroused between us and tried to figure out the mistakes. What I feel is that all this happened due to the communication gap. In all the years of our friendship we had shared each and everything whether it is good or bad. We faced the worst moments with a great zeal because we know that we two were together. But in last few weeks I felt you were hiding something from me and that made me sensed neglected. I kno...

Congratulations Letter

Good news can be about anything be it at home or place of work – marriage, childbirth, first job, promotion, etc. Sharing any of this is exhilarating and calls for celebration. A Congratulations Letter is one such letter that acknowledges the great news and sends with it loads of wishes and blessings for the recipient. This letter should be sent as soon as the writer learns about the great news that has been shared with her/him. The tone of the letter should be as exciting as the news is. Adjectives such as stimulated, excited, thrilled, elated should be used in the letter. It should be so worded that it ends up bringing a big smile on the face of the recipient. An official Congratulations Letter should be brief and to the point. A personal Congratulations Letter however can be slightly longer to give that personal touch. The letter should always talk about the news against which the wishes are being sent. It should sound as if the writer is congratulating the recipient personally. A p...
