I have been eager to return to college but cannot afford the cost of tuition and books.

 

I was forced to go to work before I could complete my college degree. I know that continuing education divisions of some universities provide good courses that I could take at night. I think, I and other employees would like to enroll for these courses.  Would Intercontinental be interested in helping us with a tuition-reimbursement program?

 

I have heard about other local companies that offer reimbursement for fees and books when employees complete approved courses with a C or higher.  I have collected information including a newspaper clipping that I am enclosing.  Surveys show that tuition reimbursement programs help improve employee morale and loyalty.  They also result in higher productivity because employees develop improved skills. 

 

I would like a chance to talk over this worthwhile employee program with you at your convenience.
