Dear [Recipients Name],

Good day to you, Mrs. Abbot. I am Krista Klein, and I am a student at the Otis College of Art and Design. I am currently doing research about some of the histories of a particular type of avant-garde style of art, and I have recently become aware that you are very knowledgeable about this topic. In accordance to this, may I be so bold as to ask for an interview with you to be scheduled at your earliest convenience? If you were so kind as to give me your phone number, I would be most grateful to schedule an interview with you soon. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Introduction Letters

Introduction letters are letters written to establish contact, outline new products or services or request information. Such letters are used in business communications. They can be to introduce a connection to people you already know or to people you have never met. The primary objective of introduction letters is to introduce yourself, your business, or another person to another party. In any scenario, introduction letters should be readable, concise, and effective in delivering the information you want. Introduction letters are a great networking tool and an effective way to get what you want from people you have not met physically.

One of the most important tips to remember when writing introduction letters is to keep them brief and to the point. First, state who you are and your role, and where necessary, mention how you got the recipient's name. Then, briefly explain the purpose of your letter and what you hope to accomplish - be as clear as you can. Include any other details that you think could be helpful. Establish a personal connection and an appropriate tone of the letter. Conclude with a brief description of how the recipient can get in touch with you.

Letters to Schools

Letters to schools are letters written to institutions designed to provide learning environment and spaces to pupils and students. There are many times when you may feel the need to write to a school administration. Maybe you want to recommend a student or employee or want to apply for an academic program. Perhaps your child has a disability, and you want to make sure that he/she is receiving special education services. Whatever the issue, putting your thoughts in writing avoids confusion since it provides you and the recipient with a record of your request. It is, therefore, crucial to keep a copy of any letter you send.

All letters to schools must use the standard business letter style. Start your letter with the proper address and salutation. Introduce yourself and explain the reason for your letter clearly and concisely. Depending on the content of your letter, provide any documentation that gives the recipient reference to the case or clarifies your concerns. Keep the tone polite, respectful, and professional. Close by thanking the recipient for his/her time and with a note of anticipation of positive feedback. Sign off and proofread the final draft before sending it.
