To Whom It May Concern,

My name is [name] and I am a federal/state/local employee at the [organization]. As you may know, the first week of May is Public Service Recognition Week, a time set aside to recognize the accomplishments of government employees and to inspire a new generation to consider careers in this field. As such, I would be very interested in visiting your [school, after-school program, etc.] and sharing my experience in public service with your students.

By sharing my story, I hope to help students understand the scope and nature of government, as well as the future careers within public service available to them. I would like to take advantage of the spotlight placed on this field during Public Service Recognition Week to encourage students’ interest in public service by emphasizing the value of a quality government workforce and the important role it serves in providing essential services.

Sincerely,
