Dr. C. Garcia Dean-Medical Program CollegeAmerica-Colorado Springs 3645 Citadel Drive South Colorado Springs, Colorado 80909 Dear Dr. C. Garcia: I am applying to Masters Program in Healthcare Administration this fall and am writing to ask if you would be willing to write a letter of recommendation in support of my applications. I plan to specialize in health services management (particularly helping the indigent population), as well as in the pharmaceutical industry (researching and developing drugs with fewer undesirable side effects and making pharmaceuticals more affordable). I would also like to further my understanding and build upon my education in Healthcare Administration. I believe that the two courses I took from you, PHR 107 (Spring 2010), PHR 208 (Summer 2010), and HCA 474(Spring 2012), have helped me to develop a solid foundation for my graduate studies in the Healthcare Administration program. We have had several discussions in our HCA 474 class that have piqued my interest and urged me to further my education in this field. Our research and discussion in PHR 107 and PHR 208 gave me a good understanding of the dangers, side effects, and helpful causes that pharmaceuticals can bring to the public. I want to play a part at helping make the pharmaceutical field as well as the Healthcare field a better place for the world. Should you decide to recommend me, I will send you a draft of my statement of purpose. If you have any questions, please contact me by phone at (719) 304-6139 or by e-mail at josie.atwood@gmail.com

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely,

Josie C. Atwood
