Dear Ms Mitchell,
Having conducted our standard credit- investigation we have concluded
that it would be unwise for us to grant you credit at this time.
We believe that the extant of your current obligations makes you a bad
credit risk.
As you can understand it is in our best interest to grant charge
accounts only to those customers with proven ability to pay.
Please accept our sencere regrets and feel to continue to shop at
Alien's on a cash basis.
:
Dear Miss Mitchell,
I am sorry to inform you that your application for an Alien's charge
account has been turned down.
Our credit department believes that because of your current obligations
additional credit might be difficult for you to handle at this time.
Your credit reputation is too valuable to be placed in jeopardy. We
will be delighted of course to reconsider your application in the future
should your financial responsibilities be reduced.
Untill then we hope you will continue to shop at Alien's where EVERY
customer is our prime concern.
Sincerely Yours...

Mr Robert T. Smith, Vice President

1143 Broad Street
Land Haute, Indiana 47786
April 25, 1996
Dear Mr. Smith,
Having served for the past several years as the sole secretary of a
private business, I would like to apply for the position of executive
secretary which you advertised in the Land Haute Journal, April 24, 1996.
As secretary to the Benlow Corporation here in Land Haute I was
directly responsible to Mr Jordanson, the company's owner. My services were
generally those of a 'gal Friday.' In addition to typing, filing, and taking
dictation, I was responsible for scheduling all the Mr Jordanson's
appointments and telephone-calls.
Essentially, I did everything I could to make Mr Jordanson's heavy
responsibilities easier. Thus I am familiar with the duties of an executive
secretary and believe I am prepared to anticipate and meet all your
expectations.
I would appreciate your giving me the opportunity to discuss my
qualifications in person. I would be happy to come for an interview at your
convenience, and I can be reached after 5, P. M. at 772 1747.
Sincerely Yours

, BIOGRAPHY -- , "
",-- , .
:
I was born in a pretty cozy Bogodukhov town, that is out of Kharkov
city, Ukraine.
As my father military officer we travelled a lot all of Soviet Union
around. So I spent my green years first in East Germany that influenced,on
me greatly (they say I look like a German, joke), then we moved to live in
Siberia where I played an ice hockey, entered the Secondary School and fell
in love with rock music.
After I finished the school, I failed my enter exams to the High School
and joined the Army. Compulsary Army you know.
In two years my military service was over and I' ve been working at the
plant for two years too, and then, in 1986, I've finally entered the Minsk
State Pedagogical Institute(recently Linguistic University) for Foreign
Languages where I have met my real friends, studied English and French, was
going for Archery and founded a local student theater and paper...

Dear Sir or Madam,
We intend to purchase a new office copier before the end of the fiscal
year. We would like to conside'r an RFG copier and wonder if you have a
model that suit our needs.
Our office is small, and a copier would generally be used by only three
secretaries. We run approximately 3, 000 copies a month and prefer a machine
that uses regular paper. We would like a callator, but rarely need to run
off more than 25 copies at any time.
We would also like to know about your warranty and repair service.
Since our fiscal year ends June 30, 1995 we hope to hear from you soon.
Sincerely yours,
