Subject: Request for an interview

Dear Ms James,

I am a crime reporter for YOC News Network, where I cover the crime beat. I have been working with the newspaper since the past seven years and have experience in both editing and reporting. But now I am interested in moving to television journalism and I would love to get a chance for an interview with Mr Daniel Giles, your managing editor.

Please let me know when he will be available. I can also give my interview over the phone if it’s more convenient for Mr Giles.

I do not have any direct experience in TV journalism but I have good contacts and many years of work experience in this field. Please let me know if the interview could be arranged.

Yours sincerely,

Kyle Billing
