January 24, 2014 Darius Jackson NASCAR Charlotte, NC 28262 To whom it may concern, My name is Darius Jackson I am a recent

Johnson C. Smith University graduate in which I received a 3.3 GPA along with my Bachelors degree in sports management. I believe I am the perfect fit for the Integrated Marketing Communications job opening. Throughout my course of study I have retained many marketing skills both with electronic and print media. I also am very up to date with social media and the marketing strategies that come along with that. I also am a very skilled writer and have a slight background with marketing working along side of Rocky Whitaker and CM3 sports marketing during the CIAA and Johnson C. Smith athletics during seasons of football and basketball. Furthermore I have obtained a background in public relations and social media as states before with dealing with Johnson C. Smith's sports information director Lamont Hinson with keeping the students and fans of Johnson C. Smith athletics updated with upcoming games, game stats and score updates. My interpersonal skills and ability to maintain relationships have been impeccable where I have been able to sustain many sports related contacts and fellowships thought the past seven years. In closing I am the best fit for this job opening with your company and I look forward to speaking with your company soon about possible employment and new ideas to keep NASCAR evolving for many more years to come.

Sincerely,

Darius Jackson
