ABC REAL ESTATE IS SEEKING INVESTORS
A patent pending company structured after others with proven positive results


LOGAN, Utah­­—ABC real estate is looking for investors to assist in starting a company new to Cache County that will benefit all involved. This company has proven to be an extremely successful and rewarding endeavor for investors in similar companies based in Salt Lake City and California. In Salt Lake City there is a 99% success rate.

ABC real estate is capitalizing on the fact that many homeowners are dealing with foreclosures and has a proven process to benefit these homeowners as well as creditors, home buyers with bad credit and especially investors. The company will take a house in foreclosure and will find a creditor to put the house into their name, an investor to put up the money for the down payment and a screened prospective homeowner who doesn’t have the credit or funds possible to buy a house on their own. The residents of the house pay a negotiated amount into a trust, on top of the mortgage payment. Once the mortgage is paid the residents can live in their paid off house and transfer it into their name. The money left in the trust is then split between the previous homeowners, the investor, the creditor and ABC real estate, each at a negotiated percentage.

ABC real estate has an insurance policy that will insure 2 months of rent if the resident misses a payment and needs to move out, giving the company plenty of time to find and screen another resident. Investors can be assured that this is an investment that will bring great returns and will be rewarding to all involved.

Letter to my Cousin

Dear Kylie,


Hey how are you? How are you liking your elementary education major? That is such a good place for you! So guess what? I have finally chosen a major. I’m going into public relations and I’m pretty excited about it. With this major you can do anything from event planning to representing President Bush, or soon President Obama. You can work for a public relations agency, do research, work for a big corporation and there’s so much international opportunity. That’s just a few of the many things you can do with the major. That is one of the great things about this major.


The main thing you have to remember about public relations is that you are trying to get free and positive publicity for whatever company you are representing. Another part of it is damage control when something goes wrong. A great example is the Tylenol scare in the 1980s, the bottles got tampered with and several people were poisoned, some even died. This could have been the end of Tylenol but, as we both know, it wasn’t. The reason was their public relations department came out with a news release and a step by step plan on how they would prevent that from happening ever again. They lost a lot of money and were set back a few years but it wasn’t the devastation it could have been.


Public relations go a lot further back than the ‘80s. In fact one of the earliest examples of public relations dates back to Plato when there would be speech writers for their leaders and wrote in order to persuade the public or the government. It has been used throughout history in many different ways. In the Revolutionary War the Boston Tea Party was basically one big public relations event, it received attention from England and caused action to be taken, which is all a public relations campaign can hope for.


I hope through these different examples you can better understand what I’m going into. I’m still not one hundred percent what I will do with this major but as you can see I have so many exciting options. Let me know what you think about it!


Love,
Annekah

Email Etiquette

I recently read an article that gave a few tips on how to properly use email in a professional setting. When reading through proper etiquette to use on the net I was reminded why my generation needs to graduate and become a part of this professional world. This world that apparently doesn't seem to understand that it is inappropriate to type in all caps, or that they need to be concise. These things seem instinctive to anyone I talk to in any of my classes. Not one person would think it a good idea to respond to spam. I am encouraged to see these lists because it seems there is a demand for people who already know these things.

The Beginning

Hello digital world! I am not exactly new to the blogging atmosphere. I attempted to write a blog about my personal life, but I did not update my personal blog much and decided to start a more professional blog. My new blog is all about the world of journalism, specifically public relations, and will track my progress and improvement as I become better acquainted with this world. This seems appropriate as I am being thrown into my public relations major this semester, and I couldn’t be more excited! I’m taking Introduction to Public Relations, Writing for Public Relations and Introduction to Online Journalism, could I ask for a better semester? I have a feeling I will learn a lot, have a lot of fun and also have a lot of writing assignments. I enjoy writing and have always thought I write decently, but I am constantly learning I can always improve. Please feel free to comment with words of praise or words of advice, both are appreciated.
