Instructions:
Research an actual company for which you would like to work, including the contact information of the hiring department and/or the executive who handles interviews.
Assignment:
In a well-written single-page email letter, inquire about possible job openings or internships now or in the near future.
*NOTE: Inquiry letters should NOT respond to a job or internship posting.
Be sure to briefly highlight your qualifications and expertise along with your interest, and remember that although this is an email request, you should still consider it a formal document. Keep in mind that this is an unsolicited letter, so you do not want to waste your readers’ time.
