Ms. Margaret O. Blaine, Product Manager
Convenience Goods Division
American Foods Company
1667 Commonwealth Avenue
Boston, Massachusetts 02210

Dear Ms. Blaine:

I am happy to accept your offer of employment in the position of assistant product manager. I understand that I will be responsible for the development, sales, and marketing of American's line of children's snack foods, supervising a staff of two and reporting to you.

The travel schedule--approximately one week out of every month--which you described to me is manageable, since I understand that I will have the use of a company car .

The initial salary of $23,000 that you offer is agreeable to me, especially with your assurance of a bonus and a salary review within six months.

As you suggested, I have read the American Foods employee handbook and I am impressed by the company's policies regarding health insurance, vacation and sick days, and termination notice and severance-pay arrangements.

Since I have given notice at my current job, I will indeed be able to start at American immediately after Thanksgiving on December 1st. I look forward to seeing you then, and I am enthusiastically anticipating becoming a part of American Foods.

Sincerely,
 

Billy Birmingham
