Dear Editor,

I recently submitted a query for an article on “A Day in the Life of a DEA Agent.” I would like to first express my continued interest and commitment to writing this unique human-interest piece for USA Today.

I have been granted permission from my DEA contact and his agency to write this story. They confirmed a set of dates for interviews and will be allowing me to accompany my contact on several routine shifts. I am going forward with this article and hope to discover your interest in the meantime.

I am happy to provide more detail if you need further clarification to make the decision to use this article. I am confident we can piece together an intriguing and valuable article for your readers.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best Regards,

 

Wendy C. Wikstrom
