Dear Dr. Smith,

My name is Dan Craig and I am the office manager for the Department of Biology at Optimum University. I am contacting you at the request of Dr. Brown, the chair of the Department of Biology to arrange for a speaking engagement at our university.

We bring in some of the best minds in the field of Biology each year to speak to our graduating seniors. This year we hope that you will be able to join us.

The session will take place in the afternoon on Friday, May 10. If you are interested please contact me by phone at 321-555-5555 during business hours. We can further discuss funding, travel arrangements, and other specifics.

Sincerely,

Daniel Craig

Office Manager
