Professor,

My name is Patrick, I was in Professor Bob’s capstone course where you came in and spoke to us about your book and your experiences in the business world. I graduated in May and have entered the Brand Licensing industry.

I noticed that you recently worked with Krusty Krab. I was hoping you could introduce me to Sandy Cheeks, the Sr Director of Global Licensing with the Krusty Krab. The agency I work with represents the Chum brand and I would love to speak with her regarding a partnership to have the authentic Chum brand to enter the premium crabby patty industry.

I appreciate any help or introduction you can make —

Thank you in advance.

Very best,

Patrick

Note: this was an actual email I received. The only modification is that all names have been changed. (If you are fan of a certain Cliona celata, you may be able to spot his influence in my daily life.)
