Ms. Roxanne Balash, Communication Director
American Lung Association
111 Market Street
San Jose, CA 95117
Dear Ms. Balash:
As an alumna of Santa Clara University, I suspect you understand the difficulties today’s graduates face in making the transition from college student to young professional. I recently graduated from the College of Arts & Sciences, and through some career exploration I have confirmed that work in the non-profit industry is consistent with my interests and abilities.
I am certain that your position as Communication Director with the American Lung Association has provided you with excellent insight into the non-profit field. I am writing to ask if you would be willing to meet briefly with me to share any suggestions that you may have about careers in the non-profit field.
My resume is enclosed so that you can review my background. I appreciate your consideration of my request and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
(signature)
