We thank all applicants, however, only those selected for interviews will be contacted. From: suziemiller@webstarters.com To: jslester@stgeorgemedia.com Date: December 8,2010 Subject: Another alternative solution Good morning, First of all, I want to mention that am an avid reader of one of your magazines. The articles in your magazine deal with real issues, and I especially like reading those columns where the readers write in about their opinions of the issues covered in your magazine. The reason for my contacting you this morning is because I think I can be of some help to you at this time. I came upon your job placement ad while browsing through your magazine. I immediately called a person I know in your company to seek more information and realized that you are planning a major facelift of your company website and are looking for the right people. I know that the process of putting together a viable web team can be a slow process. I also know that it can be very costly. I used to manage a web team at my past company, and we ran into problems we could not anticipate. Webstarters is a company that was established in 1990 with the purpose of helping companies like yours set up and maintain websites. We have a team of experts that understands the balance of technology, design, and content that creates an effective web presence. Webstarters' development team combines professional graphic design, Internet programming expertise, advanced technical skills, and website marketing knowledge to create websites that are visually appealing, easy to navigate, and accomplish your business goals. I know that your intention is to have your own web team, but do consider other alternatives like outsourcing to a company like mine. It just might be a wiser move. Please consider, and call me to arrange a meeting to discuss the possibilities further. Thank you for your time. Suzie Miller President Webstarters
