Sample Letter Requesting an Informational Interview
Here's a sample cover letter requesting an informational interview:
Mark Steppe, Esq.
VAVILOV, WEBB, WALSH & RIVER
1313 Avenue of the Harbors
Suite 4444
Silver City, CA 12345
Dear Mr. Steppe:
I am student at California Western School of Law, beginning my third trimester. Labor law has been of interest to me since I took a class in that subject as an undergraduate. Your firm has an outstanding reputation in that field of practice.
My area of concentration in law school will be labor law. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you briefly and discuss the practice of your specialty. I am especially interested in your views regarding public vs. private employment experience. Any further insights you have would be greatly appreciated.
I will contact your office the week of October 2 to set up a mutually convenient time for this informational meeting.
Sincerely,
Jeremy D. Mondaca
