Dear Ms. Network:
I am writing to request your advice and assistance regarding career opportunities in marketing in the Boston area. I received your name from the Career Advisory Network at Saint Michael's College.
I am completing my junior year at Saint Michael's where I am majoring in Political Science and minoring in International Business. During the fall 2001 semester, I studied abroad in London where I acquired greater insight into the economic and political forces affecting American business interests in Europe. Currently, I am interning at the Lake Champlain Regional Chamber of Commerce in Burlington in order to acquire practical experience in marketing research. These experiences have confirmed my interest in pursuing a career in international marketing following my graduation next year.
I would appreciate it if I could arrange an informational meeting with you to learn more about marketing and the steps I might take to better prepare myself for this field. I will call you next week to see if this is possible. I am also enclosing a copy of my resumé for your perusal.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you.
Sincerely,
William B. Worldly
