Introduction Letter

January 20, 2009

Dear Dr. Schoemaker-Rippel,




Hello my name is Muzlifa Amani. I am enrolled in your Business Communication class which is in session Thursday mornings. I reside in Union City, CA with my family. My parents immigrated to the states from Afghanistan over twenty years ago. I've spent almost my entire life in the Bay Area. I come from a large family, which includes my parents, three brothers, and two sisters. I have a large extended family as well.

I currently work in the medical field, as an authorizations clerk and health insurance specialist. In my spare time I like to spend time with my boyfriend, browse and read books and magazines at Borders, and go hiking.

I chose to attend Lincoln university because of the Diagnostic Sonography program. I will graduate in approximately two years. After graduating I plan on having a career as a OBGYN sonographer, as well as getting married, and starting a family. Ultimately I would like to continue my studies for a very long time, and hope to get my Master's Degree and maybe a PHD if I find a way to juggle family, work, and studies.

I don't have much experience in business communication but I do have experience in patient and client services. I am a confident person, but when it comes to speaking in front of more than a few people, people I don't know, such as speaking in front of a class I tend to tense up, get red in the face, and become very nervous and shy. From this class I hope to gain skills that will allow me to become comfortable when speaking in front of the class and to speak with confidence. I hope to gain much knowledge from your class and look forward to the rest of the semester.

With Regards,
Muzlifa Amani (Lisa)
