    Hi,

    I met you a couple of weeks ago at Elon. I am a


    Senior graduating in May and looking for a job
    this Summer. Can I call or email you to talk
    about job opportunities in your Company?

    I hope to hear from you soon.


    Thanks,
    Michael Calhoun

    Dear Ms. Russell,

    My name is Patty Benson and I’m a recent graduate of Elon University.


    I majored in cinema and television arts. In March you spoke at a
    Cinelon meeting and the information you shared was extremely
    insightful.

    I am conducting informational interviews as I continue my job search. I


    understand how busy you are but I am wondering if you would have
    time for a phone call or virtual meeting.

    I hope this is no way intrusive and I thank you for your time. I am sure
    speaking with you would be an invaluable opportunity.
    Thank you for the inspirational presentation you gave to our student
    organization in the spring.

    My very best,

    Patty
