Dear Dr. Smith,
My name is Casey Smith and I am currently a senior, majoring in Communications at Clemson. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter. After graduation I will be entering the competitive job market for Student Affairs. I am contacting you because you are an accredited member of the Student Affairs field and have held many positions varying from Housing to Greek Life, giving you a vast perspective of the jobs that my lay in my future. I am hoping to gain advice from you for my approaching job search. I would like to request a 15 minute interview with you where I can show you my resume examples of my work from my internship. I would also like to ask your advice on self presentation during interviews, marketability, and classes that would behoove me in the Student Affairs field. I will not be asking you for a job, I would simply like your advice so that I may improve my chances of obtaining a job in the Student Affairs field. If you have any suggestions of other people who may have advice for me as well, please let me know.

Thank you,
Casey A. Smith
Communications Major
