Ms. Elizabeth Novak

Recruiting Coordinator

PricewaterhouseCoopers Management Consulting

11 Madison Avenue, 18th Floor

New York, NY 10010

Dear Ms. Novak:

I had the pleasure of having lunch with Will Melson after the September 22ndDuke Corporate Presentation. I spoke with him again after the December 6th PricewaterhouseCoopers corporate visit where I learned even more about your firm. Mr. Melson’s compelling description of PwC couple with my desire to work in such a dynamic environment convinced me to apply for PricewaterhouseCoopers Analyst position.

I sharpened my leadership and decision-making skills while supporting operations for an industrial supply company over three summers. The environment was fast-paced and intense, thus I was constantly analyzing data to determine the root causes of given problems. I would then identify and evaluate all possible alternatives before suggesting solutions. Most of these

decisions had to be quick, concise and clearly conveyed to people at all organizational levels.As a result of my efforts, the company was able to save over $25K in material costs.During my tenure, I was often praised for thinking about problems innovatively and for never losing sight of the “big picture.” These skills will definitely aid me in consulting.

At Duke, I continue to look for leadership opportunities within a team setting. In the Small Business Consulting Program, I currently lead a team of four classmates redesigning marketing, sales, and distribution strategies for one of North Carolina’s largest microbreweries. I am also deeply involved in Habitat for Humanity and have been an active member of the team working on building the Fuqua House.

Please consider me for your January 19th closed interview schedule when I can discuss my qualifications with you. Should you need to contact me, I can be reached at (919) 555-5555 or alfred.jones@fugua.duke.eduThank you for your consideration.

Sincerely, Alfred Jones
