olivia-howell@dpsnc.net  Dear Ms. Bickers, 
 

I am so excited to jump start this new project! I wanted to share 

with you, before I get started, that mosquito repellent is not just a 
hobby for me, it’s my passion. I have been devoted to finding 
solutions to problems all my life, and I am determined to make a 
product that improves people’s quality of life. 

I have been in school all the way through the 12th grade and I will 
be graduating in less than a month! I have taken four AP classes, so 
I am extremely qualified to create this product. I will be going to 
school for Political Science at NC State University, and I intend to 
use the degree that I attain to help others. This isn’t a huge issue in 
America, but in other countries where mosquitoes are highly 
populated, especially near the equator, malaria is putting people at 
risk. I intend to use my knowledge on this issue and my experience 
to aid others in this endemic. The plan for our product is to use 
100 percent recyclable materials to package the lotion, and a large 
percent of our proceeds will go to help find a cure for malaria. We 
also hope to bring the lotion to these countries and deliver it to 
them at an extremely affordable cost, so they can benefit from the 
product. It will be used across the world. I believe that every 
human has he right to be healthy, and economic inequality should 
not be a barrier to this. Thank you for considering our product and 
believing in us! I personally look forward to hearing from you. 

Sincerely, 

Olivia Howell
