Instructions
In this activity, you will apply the principles you learned in various Writing Preps to write a “request and
reply” email to a recipient of your choice (i.e. an email to a boss, client, church leader, teacher, school
counselor, department lead, customer service, etc.). You might also consider using this email to set up
another informational interview as a part of your ongoing networking process.
Make sure your email includes at least the following components:
Appropriate subject line
Appropriate salutation
Background information
Established Ask
Conclusion or desired “next steps”
Don’t forget to include a subject line, salutation, background information, your ask, as well as a
conclusion with “next steps.”
Your Email
Subject Line: Request for informational interview regarding Marketing strategy

digital marketing campaigns.

informational interview with you would provide invaluable perspective as I make decisions about my

convenience? I am flexible and would be happy to adjust to a time that works best for you

took forward to hearing from you and hope we can connect soon .
