Hi Gillian (Account Executive - AJC National Advertising),

I was referred to you by Yolanda Turner. I would like to place a candidate announcement in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution with statewide circulation. This is to fulfill the requirements for a write-in candidate for President in the state of Georgia. I am looking for the least expensive way to place this ad ... it can be the smallest type-face, the least expensive day, etc. Can you give me a quote on how much the following ad would cost, run for one day in the very least expensive way? Thank you so much!

Corey

"Frank Moore hereby gives notice of his intention to be a write-in candidate for the office of President of the United States in the General Election to be held on November 4, 2008."

Hello Corey

We can certainly help you achieve the requirements listed below.

Our net rates for presidential candidates are:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday - $87.51 per column inch*
Friday or Saturday - $93.69 per column inch*
Sunday - $318.51 per column inch*

*One column inch = 1.73" wide x 1" high

I recommend at least a 2 column inch ad (3.56" wide x 1" high or 1.73" wide by 2" high).

The total net cost to run on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday will be $175.02.

Let me know which size you prefer and on which day you would like to run.
Prepayment would be required.
If we order the ad by 5 p.m. today and release the approved ad by Monday at noon we can make the Tuesday AJC.

I look forward to working with you!

Gillian
