Dear Coach Whitehead,

My name is David Salinger, and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you and your organization. As a student and an athlete, I realize that you and your team have a monumental task when it comes to player recruitment. For this reason, I have sent you this package. It is my goal to have the opportunity to showcase my talents to you and the University of Maine.
      Currently, I am a 19 year old playing for the South Island Sailors of the BCHL. I am a team player who constantly strives to develop my skills. This season will be my fourth year in the league. Over the past three years, I have averaged 112 points per season and my team has always participated in post-season play.
      I have included in my package my hockey resume along with my team's schedule. I hope that you or a representative of the University of Maine will be able to take the time to see me play. I know in my heart that I can be an asset to your organization, and I look forward to any opportunity that I may have to showcase my talents for you. Thank you for taking the time to read this letter.


Sincerely,

< Autograph Here >

David Salinger
