Dear Mr. LeRoy,
Thank you for suggesting we meet for an interview. My calendar is open next Wednesday. What time would you like me to be at your office?

I will bring my former inventory sheet, which demonstrates the breadth of my familiarity with your products. I’ve been representing them as a distributor for the last three years.

I’m looking forward to our meeting.
Thank you,

Houston, TX 12345

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

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

Your insistence on high-quality work and state-of-the-art technology fits perfectly with my interest in remaining abreast of ever-improving software. I think you’ll be pleased when you see the scope of my work using parametric and associative dimensioning in CAD systems.

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.

I’ll call Monday to see when we can meet at your office.

Sincerely,

Patricia Mills

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 Ms. Pilsner,

Thank you for spending time on the phone with me this afternoon. I am definitely enthusiastic about applying for the position of trainer.

I’m willing to do the required coursework on my own. In two months I can complete:

• The “Train the Trainer” program at UC Berkeley Extension

• John Capers Training Certification

Is your schedule free for an interview soon? I’ll call you to see when we can meet.

Again, thank you for encouraging me to take advantage of this career opportunity.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Green,
I’m so glad I met you at the career fair this morning. Because I know you plan to fill the IT position quickly, I am emailing you my resume, which is attached.

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
