Dear Professor Blain,

Hello, I am one of your students from the Fall semester in your English 2575 Technical writing class. To tell you a little about myself, my professional interests are in the technical field with computer networking, and just basic computer technology. My goals after college might lie in either getting a job within a start up or in a situated company, or I might end up joining the Air Force. I am still borderline with what I want to do with those two decisions but ultimately I want a good paying job.

Thank you,

Andres Toscano

Dear Professor Blain,

I am writing to inform you of my professional goals after I graduate. I intend to experience working in every IT specialization in order to decide which field I want to make a career in based on how much I enjoy them. I would like to innovate the technological world by developing a new technology or software. When I gain enough experience I’d love to start my own consulting firm.

Sincerely,

Jason Zeng
