Letter to Cousin

Parker Cousin
512 Paintbrush Lane
Sunnyville, SV 45678



Dear Parker,

Another semester has started here at Utah State University, and I am still continuing my education in Marketing and Public Relations.  Before this semester I just had a vague picture to what it takes to actually be a public relation professional.  There are so many different subjects that one needs to know about in order to be the best in the business, especially when it comes to good writing skills and communication.

Writing is one of the most important skills I will need to know in this public relations profession.  Learning how to communicate through writing is crucial to my success.  I need people to understand exactly what I am trying to get across to them through only my writing.
           
An important part of public relations writing that I am trying to learn is how to create good relationships between an institution or company and the public.  In order to do this I have to know what to communicate and when I need to communicate it.  I will do research on human behavior and know what kinds of people I am dealing with in order to complete my task of creating these relationships. 

It will be a challenge taking on this new adventure, but I am excited for it.  Who knows, maybe one day you will see my work at a top company.  For now, wish me luck!

Hope all is well,

Aubry
