Dear Mr. Dearing,

Music Captures Locals Attention is a 1,000 word story about how Borders in downtown Ann Arbor continues to book more big name singers every year thanks to channel 107.1. The story is targeted for annarbor.com.

The story touchs on people from the surrounding community who have been to a show at the Borders store on Liberty Street. It also grabs the opinions from people who have yet to see a show at Borders and why they’ve never been to one. The story is to inform people about the artists that perform at Borders so people in the community know more about what’s going on. It also touchs on what 107.1 does with all of the recordings of the artists performances.

I have been writing since I was in middle school. I am also getting ready to graduate from Eastern Michigan University on December 20, 2009 with a minor in Journalism. This means that I have taken classes and written many articles to accomplish the goal of graduating. The main goal behind this article is about music that is performed at Borders and I have attended a concert so I know first hand how much fun they really are.

I have enclosed the article with this letter for you to reply. If you would perfer, you can e-mail. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,




Lindsay Pickell
