Draft Email

Here is a copy of a draft email I wrote up to send out to any potential places of work. I have left it quite generic with the option to chop and change any relevant parts that would help me in getting a work placement.

'Good morning/afternoon/evening *Insert name*,

I would just like to enquire about a possible work placement.

I'm currently in the 2nd year of studying for my photography degree at Salford uni. We have a brief coming up, which is due to start in around 4-5 weeks and we have been asked to arrange ourselves a work placement, which will be a graded module towards my degree.

After doing a quick local search on Manchester photographers, I came across your website and have had a look around at your work. I do a lot of street photography and your work is very appealing to me.

If this were to be a successful placement, I would be available to assist you three days a week; the hours would be set by you of course. All that I would need is a written summary from you at the end of the assignment which would run for roughly six weeks.

I appreciate you must be very busy, I would be very grateful if you could get back to me with a decision, good or bad.

Regards,

Michael'
