LETTER 4-15: NETWORKING—STUDENT
This extremely enterprising student has set her sights on the firm she wishes to join after
graduation and the executive she believes will usher her in the door. She’s certainly not
afraid of working hard to get what she wants, as this letter demonstrates.

Ms. Judith L. Seifert
Redfield Industries
43980 Corporate Park
Elizabeth, New Jersey 09876

Dear Ms. Seifert:
Redfield Industries’ striking profit margins have captured the attention of
everyone in the business world—and I am no exception. Congratulations!

Although the story behind this tremendous growth has been told over and over
by the media, no one has focused on your contributions, Ms. Seifert.
As staff writer for State University’s respected daily newspaper, I would like to
focus on your perspective as a female executive, and the unique way in which
you have contributed to Redfield’s success. Rest assured, I will not waste your
time. Not only have I done my research on the company’s track record, I am
also a Chemistry major with a special interest in the groundbreaking innovations
that Redfield Industries has introduced in air purification systems, in which you
played a key role.

I would be honored if you could spare some time from your busy schedule to
speak with me. I will call you shortly to see when we might meet.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Sincerely,

Marla S. Pirski
