Dear Sir or Madam:

I am a student at Utica Community High School and plan to graduate in June, 1999. I am interested in attending Any Possible University and would appreciate having a copy of the latest college catalog, an application for admission and forms for all types of financial aid available from your institution.

I am considering a career in marketing and management, so I would be grateful for any specific academic and financial aid information pertaining to this program.

Thank you for your assistance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Julie Smith
