Cover Letter through a Referral

Dear [Insert Name],

Mr. Adam at the Southern Educational Firm suggested I contact you to ask for advice about pursuing a career in School Administration. I worked with Mr. Adam last summer through an internship sponsored by the University of Santo Tomas and found the work to be stimulating and well-suited to my talents. Mr. Adam suggested that an excellent first step in my career search would be a discussion with you.

I am going to be visiting [city/place] this [date]. I will call your office within the week to see if I can schedule an appointment with you during that time.

Very Truly Yours,
