Letter to Cousin

Dear Uncle Earnie,
I have been thinking about you lately and all of your exciting endeavours with your epic career move. What a fun time in your life! I reflected upon your natural talent as a public relations agent and thought you are the epitome of the definitions that I have read about. Here are a few of them;
According to the Public Relations Society of America, “Public relations helps an organization and its publics adapt mutually to each other.”
One definition that I enjoy was one used over 30 years ago in the 1978 World Assembly of Public Relations Associations. It says “ Public relations practice is the art and science of analyzing trends, predicting their consequences counseling organization leaders, and implementing planned programs of action, which will serve both the organization’s and their publics”.
One key idea is that public relations is a mutually beneficial relationship between an organization and its key publics.
As I pondered about these definitions I couldn't help but think of how you seek to exemplify these qualities and traits into your business interactions.
Thanks for your example
Always,
David Grange

  1. Hi David! This seems like a great example of what PR is, however if your uncle is already a PR agent I feel like he would not need to be re-educated about the subject. For outsiders, however, this would be a great source of various definitions and explanations of the word!

  2. Hey David! I thought it was interesting that you used "dictionary definitions" instead of only your own words. It gives your letter more authority, rather than just being made up. Good job!
