pitch letter

Additionally you should write a one-page pitch letter. The pitch letter is a primary method of pitching a story to readers (news agencies, organizations, and such). It can be used to pitch a story, suggest an idea for a talk show segment, secure an interview, position a person or organization for future comment, explain why a press kit or release should be looked at, and more. For this assignment, it should be a general pitch that talks about what the company(AT&T) is doing for the environment. 

The company that this letter needs to be about is AT&T.

Here are some guidelines for the pitch letter:

   3. Double entendres work well.
   4. The letter begin with a question.
   5. You can use intrigue/suspense in some way.

   4. audio, photos, and more.
