Dear [INSERT FULL NAME],
My name is [INSERT YOUR NAME] and I am a [insert relevant field of study i.e. Marketing]
student at University of Wollongong College Hong Kong. I am currently researching
professional creative practices and your work is of particular interest to my own
professional ambitions. I am currently developing a case study around creative processes
and collaborations and I was hoping you might be open to participating in my project.
[Perhaps insert a sentence as to why you are drawn to their work i.e. why they are great]. If
you are willing and available over the next week or two, I would appreciate the opportunity
to conduct a short (10-15minute) interview over the phone or online. I am interested in
both creative and practical aspects of your daily work such as how you formulate ideas and
the processes behind project completion. I would greatly appreciate the opportunity for a
discussion, but I understand if you are too busy or do not wish to participate.
I can call at a time that is convenient for you.
I can be contacted at [INSERT YOUR MOBILE NUMBER] or via this email if you have any
questions.
My university subject coordinator [NAME] can be reached at [EMAIL] if you have any
concerns about the project.
Thanks for your time.
Kind Regards
[INSERT YOUR FULL NAME]
