February 8, 2006 Ms. Anne Gable Public Relations Director Big Public Relations Firm 456 Main Street New York, NY 10010 Dear Ms. Gable: In order to gain some more information about the public relations field, I recently searched the Lehigh University Career Advisory Network (LUCAN) for alumni volunteers. Your name was among those listed. I am hoping I might further my knowledge of a profession in which I will seek employment upon graduation. My interest in public relations stem from my experience as an intern with Local Public Relations in Bethlehem, PA. I was able to participate in planning and coordinating Bethlehem’s annual Musikfest. Through this experience, I developed skills in writing press releases and copy for brochures. I also had the opportunity to create and maintain positive relationships with clients. I would enjoy the opportunity to ask you a few questions about your experience. By talking with professionals, I hope to verify that my career goals are appropriate and realistic. I will call you on Tuesday, February 13, in hopes that we can set up a convenient time for us to speak. I have enclosed my resume so that you may have a broader picture of my experience before we talk. Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Ruth Pommeroy
