Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:
We would like to take this opportunity and draw your attention to an
innovative fellowship program set up by our company and kindly ask for your
help in promoting this program internationally:
On his 80th birthday, the entrepreneur and philanthropist Reinhard Mohn
received the "Reinhard Mohn Fellowship" as a gift from
the Bertelsmann AG executive board. The fellowship pays tribute to his
lifetime achievements by sponsoring dedicated people to follow in Reinhard
Mohn's footsteps.
We have chosen an innovative and progressive approach
to sponsorship: each year, we will select between five and seven talented
people from all over the world, who will spend 12 months in the Bertelsmann
group, going through a demanding Fellowship program.
The Reinhard Mohn Fellowship is intended for people
who have initiated, led or impelled innovative projects: leaders and
entrepreneurial talents from all sectors of society - business, the public
and
non-profit sectors, science, culture, sports, or social services. In this
particular case, degrees and academic merit are of secondary importance
- the important thing is that their projects have made a discernible
contribution to society.
Fellows are given the opportunity to obtain valuable
knowledge and expertise and build up extensive networks through
selective training and a wide range of project work in a variety of
divisions
and at different locations within our global media company. Thus
equipped, they are expected to expand on their existing potential and apply
it to
projects in their own field of activity. On top of this, they will become
familiar with a philosophy of leadership that will serve both as an
example and as motivation. At Bertelsmann, we not only appreciate the
success of our corporate culture and leadership philosophy, but would
also like to pass it along true to Reinhard Mohn's intention.
Interested persons may apply until June 1, 2002. At the end of July 2002,
the Fellows will be named by a Jury at a selectionconvention. The Jury
consists of outstanding public personalities whorepresent the spirit and
attitude we are looking for in our Reinhard Mohn Fellows. We kindly request
that you use the network at your disposal to call attention to the Reinhard
Mohn Fellowship and the opportunities it has to offer.
More detailed information is available from our
website:

If you have any further questions about the program,please contact us by
e-mail or regular mail. I would be delighted to also personally talk to you
about this wonderful opportunity.
Kind regards,
