General Manager
Events For You

Dear Ms. Winters,

When we met two years ago at Robin Tankel's wedding, I was amazed at how well you had orchestrated her reception. Now, after six years as a florist, I'm thinking about applying for a position as an event planner at the Houston Convention Center.

Before I jump head-long into event planning, would you be kind enough to consult with me? I'm interested in learning more about what's involved in your profession.

Every Thursday, I work near your office on Colgate Avenue. Perhaps one Thursday in the next few weeks we can get together over coffee. I'll call your office to set something up.

Best wishes with your business!

Sincerely,

Cindy Wisebott

It was great to speak with you in person at the Women's Conference. I have attached my resume as you requested.

I'd like to get together again, this time in an environment that's more conducive to discussion. I'm eager to learn more about the designer position at your firm and to show you my complete portfolio.

Dear John,

What an exciting adventure you have embarked upon! I definitely would like to host your four-part series. I especially like the idea of doing some field work, interviewing world adventurers who travel alone.

Once we were off the phone, two questions came to mind:

Is this going to be a live or pre-recorded show?

Will we use an interview or documentary format?

I'm enclosing the material I mentioned: my resume and a few issues of my "Travel Tip of the Month." These tips would make excellent segment topics.

John, thanks for thinking of me for the role of host. I will follow up on this note to learn when we can begin work together.

Sincerely yours,

Paula Watson

Dear Mary,

It was wonderful meeting you at George's dinner party. I would never have guessed that we have so much in common, nor would I have imagined that a conversation with you would spark an industry change for me.

As you pointed out, my operations management skills are completely transferable into high-tech. I can easily picture myself as COO of Datamanagement. In fact, I'm enclosing a resume that targets that position.

Could we get together to explore the COO possibility? I'll give you a jingle in a few days to see when you're free for lunch.

Again, thanks for making my evening at George's a great one!

Sincerely,

Roger Plantain
