Pittsburgh, PA

Dear Paul Mathews and

Other Important Players at Mathews Printing,

I’d like to come and work with you. It is my intention to present this proposal to you, and, in turn, become a full-time, long-term employee of Mathews Printing. I hope you will allow me the opportunity to explain my vision and sell myself to you.

As a publisher of an active, independent, small press, my arrival at Mathews as an employee means I’ll be bringing projects, ideas, ambitions and experiences. When these activities become properly engaged with you, together we can build a dynamic and profitable publishing/printing solution. Furthermore, I have thought through the benefits and scope of these ventures. I’m sure this win-win arrangement will do wonders for your business.

As I approach Mathews Printing with my projects in tow, Mathews Printing will have to open the door and expand its business. I suggest the formation of a new division within Mathews Printing, to be called, Points Press. My new role and job title would be director of Points Press.

I’m excited about our possibilities. I am anxious to go to work and put my skills into place among Mathews’ resources. I’m thrilled to be in a position to bring my talents and efforts to a “company” setting. I’ve been a lone, entrepreneur for the majority of my professional years. Not only have I been financially drained, but I’m also eager for on-the-job companionship and a being able to contribute to a larger sense of corporate identity. My stepping to Mathews could be just what I’m looking for, and Mathews Printing will realize plenty of new business orders and obtain a new stream of revenue and profits. I believe this plan is ideal for both of us.

In the last weeks, I’ve pull together lots of plans that I would like to convey to you. I met with Paul, and he gave me a sense of direction. Now, I’d love to get started and find myself on the job in a matter of days. There are plenty of rich opportunities and challenges I’d like to tackle together.

Looking forward to us meeting again.

Sincerely yours,

Mark Rauterkus,
