Dear Ms. Polk,

As a fellow alumnae of Akron University’s School of Interior Design I am turning to you for guidance as I pursue my career. Your name and accomplishments are highlighted at Akron as a matter of pride for the university and as a real life example of success in the field. We met when I participated in the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Student Mentoring Week.

As a mentor, you made a great impact on me since part of the experience was being allowed to be a fly on the wall during one of your client presentations. Your confidence, poise, and ability to be flexible were impressive.With my degree in hand I am ready to begin my job search. I would be greatly appreciative if you can find the time in your schedule to meet with me to discuss the best approach. I will be happy to bring my portfolio for your review. Since you were generous enough to volunteer as a mentor for the IIDA Student Mentoring Week I’m hoping you can find a place on your calendar for a brief one-on-one meeting with me before I jump into the job pool.

I look forward to your call and will make myself available according to you schedule. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Regards,

Barbara Billings
