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
