Example of Application Letter 

Mr. Rich Freeland, VP Marketing

Ford Center
123 Main Street
Oklahoma City, WA 66556 

Dear Mr. Freeland, 

In a recent conversation with Janis French, she suggested I contact you. Janis and I
worked very closely together on a production last spring in NY. She was kind
enough to offer me some advice on the next steps in my career. She mentioned
that she had had the opportunity to work with you several years ago, and she
thought that perhaps you would be able to offer some guidance to me as well. 

My passion is marketing large productions and events where I can utilize my

creative, innovative, and problem- solving abilities. The sense of satisfaction I feel
at the close of an event or production is always worth the time, effort, and hard
work. My work includes seven international trade shows for SC Johnson and
Sons. 

They were pleased with the increase in quality inquiries and brand awareness
and the fact I had reduced the overall trade show costs. 

Mr. Freeland, I do not expect you to have (or know of) opportunities. I would like
a brief meeting to discuss the convention industry as well as current and future
trends. You are nationally recognized for your expertise in managing Moscone
Center, Reunion Plaza and, currently, The Ford Center. Your advice and feedback
will be greatly appreciated. 

I will call you during the first part of next week to set up a convenient time to
meet. I will come prepared and be brief. I look forward to meeting you. 

Sincerely, 

Deborah Sweetingale
