Dear Ms. Taylor:

I am currently an undergraduate student at California State University, Fullerton majoring in Criminal Justice. A colleague of mine, Desiree Cabinte, who previously worked for your Law Firm as an Office Clerk, suggested I contact you to conduct an informational interview.

My passion and desire is to become a business law attorney, such as yourself. Ms. Cabinte, mentioned that you are an excellent business law attorney that could provide me with great insight about the field. Currently, I am in the process of exploring different professional law schools. Your background and experience in business law will be invaluable to me as I pursue my career in law. At your convenience, I would like to schedule a 20–25 minute informational meeting with you. The purpose of the meeting is to gather additional information that will better assist me with my career decisions.

I will contact you by telephone on April 26th to see if we can schedule a meeting. Thank you for considering my request, and I hope we can spend some productive time together in the near future.

Sincerely,

(Signature)
