LETTER 4-18: NETWORKING—INTERNSHIP—STUDENT

Mr. Alan Wang
Wang, Malone and Lee
2468 South Terrace
Grand Rapids, MI 09876

Dear Mr. Wang:
I am writing you at the suggestion of my father, Jon Omura, with whom
you are a member of the Winchester Club. My father has spoken highly
of your firm’s summer internship program, and as a result, I would like
to explore this unusual opportunity further.
For a Business major like myself, such a program would offer valuable
hands-on experience in the real world. More importantly, the chance to
learn from experts such as those you employ is the chance of a lifetime.

Mr. Wang, would it be possible for you or one of your colleagues to
spare some time to speak with me about your unique summer program?
I have attached my resume to assure you of my strong qualifications.
I will take the liberty of contacting your assistant, Michael Fields, next
Tuesday morning to see whether I might set up an appointment.
I thank you in advance and send my dad’s greetings.

Sincerely,

Jason Omura
