Dr. Jones:
I have reviewed your credentials and am pleased to inform you that you and your family have the opportunity to join our society. Our society looks to better humanity by looking and working towards the future. We are now in the process of building more learning institutions or our young adults. Our latest institution, Jetson University, is still in need of a president and we would be very happy to have you on board.
Being that you, a Tenured Professor in Editing Writing and Media, have also served as part of your own University's administration, it is only right that you help expand Jetsonia's young minds.
Jetsonia is a digitally inclined society, meaning that it is high speed and hassle free. We work to promote human growth through the aid of computers. We like that you have extensive research in Media and Digital Citizenship, and believe that you could be the rock in which we build our universities.
Jetsonia was built with the hope that our children could live an a thriving environment where we have passes the sky's limit. We are quickly expanding into a society where friends are only a click away.
If you accept, you will be running Jetsonia's main public University. This University will be on par with other Great Earthly ones, such as Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Oxford University. Our students and families will look up to your professional opinion in which direction the University shall go. This academic year, over 1500 students have been accepted to our University as freshmen. They are the pioneers of the future by stepping onto our campus.
We have many aspirations for our university. Not only is our curriculum exceptional, but athletics and student organizations are to be promoted for the student community. We plan on being a community like no other. With our digital advancement, we hope to make everyone and everything easily accessible.
We believe that our students need someone like you. Although the job may not be easy, the respect that the job holds is well worth it.
If you do accept, you will be paid very well and your family will be accommodated with a selection of properties that you may choose from in order to make the transition easier. Your children will have the option of going to the best local schools. You will also be provided with transportation to and from the University.
Again, we are very pleased to have you join our society to lead our young adults, if you accept.

Ms. Perez,
As an instructor, I appreciate your invitation to join your society. As a tenured professor in editing, writing and media, I have done extensive research on digital technology, visual culture, the internet and new media. As a professor, I take great interest in my students education and aim to prepare them for digital leadership roles in the 21st century and beyond.
Based on your description of your society that you have provided me, I am not sure that my qualifications are what you are seeking. You sound really enthusiastic about your school’s programs, and confident in its success. However, you did not describe the any of the elements of a digital society and the benefits of transitioning to a digital university that would appeal to me.
What is the cornerstone of education at your university? What digital elements are your educational programs based upon? You do not list or talk about any of the nine elements of digital citizenship. Most of my research and education has been based on promoting digital literacy. However, your letter does not address or advocate this subject in any length or detail.
What sort of digital advancements have your made or do you expect to make? What sort of classes will I be teaching? What are your plans for the academic curriculum as far as digital education is concerned?
Before I can make a final decision, I will need a more precise outline of your educational program, including details of the courses that you plan on offering, what kind of texts you expect to utilize, etc.
How do you plan to promote digital literacy in this learning environment?
What are your standards for promoting digital communication and etiquette?
Besides students in each individual course, who will have access to the information that I will provide in my courses?
I need to know more about your expectations from me.
Does your society maintain communication with other digital societies and digital schools?
What sets your society apart from other existing and established societies? Why should I choose Jetsonia University?
If and when you can answer these questions, I will give more careful consideration to accepting your invitation.
Dr. K. L. Jones., PhD
