Follow Up Letter to Alumni Met at College Networking Event

Mr. Daniel Miranda
XYZ Publishing House
456 7th Avenue
New York, New York 10018

Dear Mr. Miranda,

It was a pleasure meeting you at the ABC College Alumni Networking Dinner last month. I enjoyed speaking with you about current career tracks in the publishing field. Your description of a typical workday at the XYZ Publishing House only increased my interest in a publishing career.

I am currently beginning my search for summer internships in the publishing field. I believe my skills and past experience would make me an ideal editorial intern. Please let me know if you hear of any internship opportunities at XYZ Publishing House, or if you have any suggestions regarding people or companies to contact.

I will be in touch within the next two weeks to follow up. Thank you so much for your willingness to help students from ABC College.

Sincerely,

Lindsay Shia
