MEMO
TO: Dennis Hopper FROM: Lois Lane DATE: April 4 RE: Applications Dear Mr. Dennis Hopper, Thanks for sending me the applications. We seem to be getting more applications from better-qualified applicants each year. After reviewing the applications and conducting interviews, I've come to the conclusion that the applicant, Scott Hamilton, would fit in well with the employees at our company. He has management experience and has supervised workers. He studied computer science in school, and I feel his skills and knowledge could benefit our company greatly. I strongly recommend him for the position.
