Letter to Supervisor

Dear Eileen,

I would like to thank you for giving me this tremendous internship opportunity in the Office of Public Liaison. I've had nothing but fantastic experiences here that have spawned memories and invaluable work experience that I'll carry with me for the rest of my life.

Interning here was eye-opening to the way Federal Government operates, and getting to be a part of it was surreal. Something as simple as setting up informal briefings or coordinating special events brought me a great amount of satisfaction. I've found that this is the kind of "hands on" public sector work is something I really enjoy, and I owe part of that realization to this office and to you.

I would also like to thank you, and the entire office, for welcoming me in as one of your own. It goes a long way when someone can go to work and feel welcome and vital to the organization's mission. There was never a time where I felt like I was in others' way or slowing people down. Everyone was patient, accepting, and above all, friendly. This is something I will never forget and reminds me of just how great it is to work in a teamwork focused environment.

It's truly regrettable that my State Department internship has expired because I would love to continue working. Despite leaving soon, I take great pride in the work I've done and the experience you've provided me. I've enjoyed the experience so much that I would consider returning to Washington, D.C. after I graduate a very strong possibility.

I can't thank you enough for the incredible opportunity you've provided me with here at the State Department. I will keep in touch with you, and everyone else in the office. Keep up the great work!

Sincerely,

Travis Kester
