2. Identifying the reason that you are applying. Be as specific as possible.

positive traits, and so forth).
4. Identifying what you hope to accomplish by sending your letter, and the action you would
like the recipient to take.
5. Indicating the date by which you would like a response to your letter, or by which you

2. Include a request for any information you would like to be sent, if applicable.
