    I am teacher from MetEast High School in Camden, NJ and I am contacting your department on behalf of one of my students. Our school allows students to pursue their passions and interests by going on informational interviews during which they interview people about their careers. My student, Kyree Douglas, is very interested in working in public relations with a sports team and it would be greatly appreciated if he could come in to interview someone about what he or she does.

    We also allow our students to go on internships on Tuesdays and Thursdays during school hours. If there is any way Kyree could come in for an in interview and possibly set up an internship that would be great.

    Thank you for your time,
