     Dear           ,
 
          It is  my pleasure  to offer  you the  position of [corporate
     communications director] for our company.
 
          The   position   pays   [$30,000   annually],   with   salary
     disbursements made in [twelve]  increments paid  [on the  first of
     the month].  [I] will be your immediate supervisor.
 
          All our  employees serve a three-month probationary period at
     the beginning of their employment. During probation, you  will not
     participate   in   benefit   programs  and  will  receive  written
     evaluations monthly. At the end of  the probationary  period, your
     continued  employment  will  be  considered.  If  you successfully
     complete the  probationary period,  you will  fully participate in
     all benefit programs retroactively.
 
          The job is on a two-week basis, meaning that either party can
     terminate the relationship upon  giving two  weeks' written notice
     to the other party.
 
          You were  selected for this offer from a field of outstanding
     applicants. We believe you will  be  a  valuable  addition  to our
     company, and I hope you will call me to accept our offer.
 
     Sincerely,
 
 
 
     President
