Hi George,
I wanted to follow-up and let you know that I recently read that U.S. coal producers are now looking to export coal internationally, especially as natural gas prices are higher outside the U.S.--I found the article really interesting and was able to tie it back to investment banking and the work that you do. On that note, I wanted to again express my strong interest in Investment Banking and was wondering if you had 15 minutes for a phone chat so that I can learn more on how to best position myself for the summer analyst interview.
I have also attached my resume for your reference and guidance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,

Dear Tony,
I wanted to follow-up and let you know that I recently read an article on Goldman Sachs and its significant role in the recent Allergan and Halliburton deals--I found the article engaging, particularly the advisory work of Goldman on the side of Baker Hughes and the Halliburton deal's regulatory debate, and was able to tie it back to investment banking and the work that you do.
On that note, I wanted to again express my strong interest in Goldman Sachs Investment Banking and was wondering if you had 15 minutes for a phone chat to talk more on this very interesting deal sometime next week after the holidays.
I am also attaching my resume for your reference and guidance. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Happy Thanksgiving and Best Regards,

Hi Paul,
I wanted to follow-up and let you know that I recently looked at an article on Dealogic regarding US M&A volume totaling $1.41tr in 2014 YTD, up 43% from 2013 YTD with Healthcare and Telecom and Technology as the larger targeted sector. I found the article and the note on cross-border transactions really interesting and was able to tie it back to investment banking and the work that you do. On that note, I wanted to again express my strong interest in Investment Banking and was wondering if you had 15 minutes for a phone chat so that I can learn more on how to best position myself for the summer analyst recruiting cycle.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Best Regards,
