LETTER 5-18: TRAINING PROGRAM—STUDENT—REFERRAL LETTER
Mr. John Brunella
Vice President
First Federal Savings of Boston
7650 Revere Street
Boston, MA 09876
Dear Mr. Brunella:
Your associate, Amy Levin, advised me that she has sent you my
resume so that you may consider me as a 20XX participant in First
Federal’s training program. I have enclosed another copy of my resume
for your convenience.

On May 25, I will graduate from State University with a major in
Economics, a minor in Business Administration, and a concentration in
Mathematics. I am planning a career in financial services, for which my
education has ideally prepared me.

Ms. Levin and others have spoken highly of your firm’s training
program. It is precisely the type of challenge I seek. In return, I offer
First Federal a loyal and hard-working employee who already possesses
a solid foundation of relevant knowledge. Unlike other applicants who
may have a more general education, my training would allow me to be a
highly productive member of your training program. As a banker, I
would be able to put this supplemental training to profitable use more
quickly for the bank.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you. I can be in Boston
any Friday this semester, or any day after graduation.
I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Gloria Ashford-Washington
(555) 456-7890
