Dear Mr. Webb:
I will be graduating from Virginia Tech with a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture in May 2010, and am researching employment opportunities in the Washington area. I obtained your name from VT CareerLink, Career Services’ Alumni database. I very much appreciate your volunteering to help students with job search information, and I hope that your schedule will permit you to provide me with some advice. I am particularly interested in historic preservation and understand that your firm does work in this area. I am also interested in learning how the architects in your firm began their careers. My resume is enclosed simply to give you some information about my background and project work.
I will call you in two weeks to arrange a time to speak to you by telephone or perhaps visit your office if that would be convenient. I will be in the Washington area during the week of November 23. I very much appreciate your time and consideration of my request, and I look forward to talking with you.
Sincerely,
(handwritten signature)
Kristen Walker
Encl.
