October 14, 2005 Sample Letter of Inquiry

Ms. Susan Lowery

College Recruiting Manager
Tower Bank
770 Berry Street
Fort Wayne, IN 46802

Dear Ms. Lowery:

During a recent college course on financial institutions, I was exposed to aspects of

commercial banking. This represents a career opportunity that would allow me to
combine my interest in finance and my strong interpersonal skills. I will be graduating
from Indiana University, Fort Wayne in May of 2006 with a B.S. degree in
Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance.

Upon completion of my class, I continued my research to explore the commercial

lending institutions in the midwest. However, only limited information about your
organization was available. I would like to receive information about Tower Bank,
including a recent annual report and information discussing opportunities in commercial
lending. The banking industry is an excellent career option based on my previous
experience and academic programs.

I would appreciate any information that you could forward to me. I also would like to
speak with you in the next two to three weeks after I have reviewed the material on
your organization. If you would like to contact me, I can be reached at (260) 555-1212 or
by email at jsmith@yahoo.com. I look forward to receiving the information and speaking
with you soon.

Sincerely,

Janet L. Smith
