Hi!

Greetings!

We noticed that there are only 1 to 2 registrations from your school compared to the teams from other schools.

Please encourage participation from your club and your fellow classmates, because results will be tallied by school and viewed by future potential employers. We'd like to see your school as one of the top schools chosen by employers for finance talent.

Students can still register and submissions are due February 28th. We heard that some students weren't aware of the extension in the registration deadline and didn't register for the contest.

A good submission should take only 2 to 4 hours worth of research and writing.

Participants can win numerous cash prizes and internship opportunity with Edward Jones, one of the nation’s largest full-service brokerages with nearly 7 million clients and 10,000 branches, ranked on FORTUNE Magazine's "100 Best Companies to Work For" in 2012 for the 13th consecutive year.

Could you forward the information to your club and classmates, and encourage them to participate?

Thank you very much. We do appreciate it.

Warmest regards,

James
