                        [MSX INTERNATIONAL LETTERHEAD]


August 28, 1997



Mr. Donald Springer
1692 South Hill Boulevard
Bloomfield, Michigan  48304

Dear Don:

We are extremely pleased to have you join the MSX International executive
management team as Vice President, Business & Technology Services, reporting to
Ralph Miller.  The purpose of this letter is to briefly outline your
compensation and benefits as a result of your employment with MSX
International.

You will continue, up through December 31, 1997, to receive the benefits and
compensation extended to you as an executive employee of Geometric Results
Incorporated.  On January 1, 1998, you will become eligible for the
compensation and benefit programs in effect for executive employees of MSX
International.  As the attached Summary of Company-Sponsored Benefits outline,
you will be offered a comprehensive benefits program, which includes your
choice of coverage for health, dental, vision, life and accidental death
and dismemberment, and flexible spending accounts.  Additionally, you will be
eligible to participate in the MSX International holiday, vacation, and tuition
refund benefits programs. Of course, these benefits are subject to change.

As a matter of employment, you are subject to the policies and procedures of the
Company and the verification provisions of the Immigration and Control Act of
1986, as well as the required execution of the MSX International Proprietary
Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreement.

This document is not an employment contract for any particular term.  Your
employment relationship with MSX International is at-will.  However, should the
Company chose to exercise the right to terminate your employment at-will, you
will be entitled to receive the gross amount of $230,000, subject to execution
and delivery of a settlement and release agreement reasonably satisfactory to
MSX International, releasing all claims you may have against MSX International
or its affiliates relating to the termination of your employment. This figure
is all inclusive and no additional payments or benefits will be paid of any
kind.  If you are terminated for cause this provision does not apply.

Please let me know if there is any additional questions or information you may
have concerning this subject.  I sincerely look forward to working closely with
you as we continue to grow this exciting and dynamic organization.

Sincerely,


Frederick K. Minturn
