Subject: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION GUIDELINES
 
When the enclosure or attachment is the reason for writing, mention it first, and then answer the reader's specific questions. The enclosed procedure manual details the guidelines governing interviewing and hiring women and minorities.

You'll find a list of legal questions for hiring interviews on pp. 14-27.  Other legal screening procedures are detailed on pp. 60-74.  Suggestions for complying with the law while making effective use of our current targeted selection process are covered in Appendix A.

     
Avoid cliché endings.  The reader may have legitimate questions, but avoid implying that your message is inadequate. Please call me if you have questions about any of the guidelines.
