To Whom it May Concern

Here's the thing, via email me and a good friend have been chatting it up about my quests to move to New York [what else is new] She is the personal assistant to a big name in the business and I confused her signature, "find ____ on twitter and FB" as a suggestion for me to write this person a letter. Although mildly embarrassing, I thought it would be a good idea to post. The only editing I did was removing the persons name for the letter.

To Whom it May Concern:

I hope this finds you in good spirits as the beauty of this day begins. My name is Keith Collins, I live in Newport News, Va. Currently I am a senior at Norfolk State University majoring in English and Theatre Performance. I write you now because I find myself at a complete stand still in my life. I no longer wish to be in college, truth be told I never wanted to go.I feel the longer I stay in VA the more my dreams begin to suffocate. I know you of all people know a thing or two about dreams;one of the reasons I decided to write you.

[this is where i would mention knowing my friend and her fondness for working with said individual upon her approval.]

My dream has always been to move to NY and capitalize on my talent in perhaps the most dream driven city in the world. New York's livelihood and vigor enriches my spirit in ways no other place can; the hustle and bustle is inspiring, and the creativity, passion, and potential that city invites are unchartered anywhere else in the world.

That being said, it is my hope that you would extend a helping hand my way. I am not asking for a handout or anything for free, just the opportunity for experience in a business and industry you know all too well. I am outgoing, intelligent, and capable of anything. I am creative, I'm a writer, reader, thinker, and dreamer.

In a world as selfish and self-centered as the one we live, It is not everyday we connect with a spirit as humble as yours through media. whether it be television, radio, twitter or facebook. Your name, [insert said name] has always been synonymous with humility. I thank you for showing such grace, poise, and class as your spirit continues to contribute to the world and hearts and minds of people everywhere.

wishing you love and hoping to hear from you soon,

KEiTH_ANDRE
