Dear Dr. Simmons,

I was recently reminiscing on my job shadow with Storm Kennedy at KUGN last summer.  I had such a wonderful experience sitting in on “Doc Talk” with you and Storm. Your wealth of medicinal knowledge and conversational speaking skills made it easy for me to understand otherwise detailed medical concepts.  I am hoping that I may return one day to the KUGN office for another shadow of this nature.

I have continued to grow scholastically since we last spoke and I am now a senior in the journalism school at the University of Oregon. Currently, I am working on research for my Reporting 2 class. My project is focused on the effect of coffee drinking in college students. More specifically, for a portion of my research, I want to tackle the logistics of what caffeine does to one’s body. How does caffeine react and specifically what is happening during this caffeine stimulation?

I would be thrilled to interview you regarding caffeine and its effects on the body.  Since you have so much experience answering medical questions on KUGN, I figured you would be the perfect expert to speak with.

I would be more than happy to meet at your convenience for an interview regarding my topic. Tuesdays and Thursdays after 2pm tend to work best for me; however, I am flexible and can work around your schedule!

Best,

Jaclyn Umenhofer
