Dear Sandy,
I hope
this
letter finds you well. I am writing to give you some news and to ask for your help regarding my first part-time job.
I have been selected to finish my major in Fine Arts at the University of Ottawa, so I will be moving to town next month! Also
, I am already planning on doing a specialization in Editorial Botanic Illustration next year since I am really interested in their course.
The reason why I am searching for a part-time job now is because I want to start improving my practical skills and earn some income. In addition
, I want to know new people in the editorial field and start building my professional network.
Finally
, I would like to ask you if you could help by putting me in contact with anyone relevant from Seven Beauties Magazine, as you mentioned you have a few friends who work there. Moreover
, I would really appreciate it if you could recommend me to them.
I am truly grateful for any help you can give me and I look forward to receiving your reply.
Yours sincerely,
Amanda LagoSubmitted by amandacflago23 on
