Dear Mr. Fogbottom:

Thank you for taking the time to meet with me last Thursday. After speaking with you, and seeing Really Great High

School firsthand, I’m more convinced than ever that my educational skills and philosophy would be a good match for

your school. Your commitment to encouraging active and practical learning is extremely evident. I’d consider myself very

fortunate to teach at your school.

I feel that I have unique abilities that could further advance the excellence you clearly foster at Really Great High School.

I’m fluent in seventeen languages and use these skills to develop a culturally diverse environment in my classroom. I have

extensive experience in the world of technology and have had great success incorporating computer skills into my

teaching pedagogy. I’ve taught academic units which embed Power Point, website design, and online editing into the

curriculum. My students gain not only superior knowledge of the material covered, but they learn skills necessary to be

tomorrow’s leaders in today’s technological world.

I’m particularly impressed with your school’s Media & Television Studio. I would love to bring my Emmy Award-

winning screenwriting skills and coordinate writing courses with the Production Studio. You could be the first school in

the nation with an in-house television series written, produced, and broadcast entirely by students. Likewise, I could

facilitate daily news broadcasts through your Journalism Department. School announcements could be presented via

television by student broadcasters, sporting events could be reported, and you could address the student body for daily

updates and briefings.

In a time when so many schools are struggling to provide the relevant and rich education that students deserve, it’s

encouraging to see an institution succeeding. I hope I can be part of your team.

Sincerely,

Ima Reader
