Chad Lincoln 200 East Avenue 208.222.3333 Rexburg, ID clincoln@email.com August 8, 2011 John Wright, Project Manager Finance Company 789 Business Drive ID 83670 Dear Mr. Wright: I was referred to you by Diane Johnson from Any Company in Spokane, WA. Currently, I am a senior studying finance at BYU-Idaho and am looking forward to launching my career this May after I graduate. Diane recommended you as an excellent source of information on the finance industry. As an intern for ABC Paint Company, I gained a considerable amount of knowledge and experience in management and financial reports. I was exposed to the daily management tasks of a store as well as the corporate financial and sales data. It was beneficial to see first-hand what it takes to run a business from the financial and logistical sides. I also gained experience in payroll, accounts payable and accounts receivable as a Financial Assistant for the City of Rexburg. As Vice President of the Finance club, I have developed and put into practice my leadership and communication skills. My goal is to secure an position in the finance industry. I would appreciate hearing your advice on career opportunities, conducting an effective job search, and how best to uncover job leads. Thank you, in advance, for any insight and advice you would be willing to share. If possible, I would like to set up an informational interview with you. I will contact you early next week to make arrangements. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, {Signature} Chad Lincoln Enclosure Get Connected with LinkedIn www.linkedin.com
