Speakeasy

Hi Prof. Westfall,

My name is Cara McCoy, and I took your Info Gathering class last fall. I was really impressed with how you taught interviewing skills, and was wondering if you would be interested in coming to give a lecture it for my student organization.

I'm currently the vice-president of the Online Journalism Student Society. This quarter, we have undertaken a huge project and hope to launch an independent Web zine by spring. We currently have a staff of about 25 energetic writers, but most of them are freshmen and have not been able to take very many journalism classes yet. Erin Coyle is going to give a presentation on how to do basic news writing, such as ledes and nut graphs, next week. We were hoping that you would be able to give a lecture on interviewing on February 15, which is a Tuesday. We generally meet from 6:10-7 p.m., and would love it if you could come.

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them via email or you can call me at 590-1931.

Thanks so much for your time.

Sincerely,
Cara McCoy
