Dear Mr. Haven:
I am currently a student at Santa Clara University exploring various career options. After attending a campus American Marketing Association meeting, I became intrigued by the field. According to InCircle, the alumni database, I understand that you are an alumnus of SCU and currently working in the field of marketing.
I would appreciate the opportunity to learn from your first-hand experience and gain some insight into marketing. I wonder if you would be willing to spend 20 - 30 minutes with me so that I may continue to gather data and assess whether or not this field is for me. I realize that you’re very busy, and would like to make this as convenient as possible for you. Please let me know if you might have time to speak with me and share your experience.
I appreciate your time and consideration and look forward to hearing from you.
