Dear Dr. Shakley:

We here at American Business Machines have heard magnificent stories of the wonderful results of your "Improving Oral Communication" seminar.

How would you like to see the applications of your theories in a real world situation? Our twenty-seven sales representatives and office staff are prime candidates for your research into oral communications methods, and will allow you to see the real word implications of your communications theories, and fine-tune them to withstand the rigorous reviews of the academic and business communities.

Unfortunately, our employees have much room for improvement. Therefore presenting your workshop will be an excellent showcase of your ability to direct companies into using better oral communication skills. This can be invaluable tool for obtaining future consulting work, in Chappington and throughout the Midwest.

We at AMBC would love to have you spend a day or weekend with us in Illinois and Missouri and provide us with your nationally recognized seminar on “Improving Oral Communication.” We are prepared to provide air transportation and $250.00 in compensation. Our knowledgeable sales representatives will also share with you an insider's view of Saint Louis, to maximize your potential time there. Can you please choose a time that will suit your schedule, and let us know by April 1st.

Sincerely,

Peter Santos

Sales Manager
