A Letter to the District Office Staffers

To the staff of the Gilbert office of the 5th Congressional District:

I want to express a brief but heartfelt 'thank you' to all of you for the time that I've been able to spend here as an intern. Getting to know the district and its constituents, and how you do your best to serve them, has been a good and motivating experience for me. It's helped me to understand that the federal government really can have a positive and noticeable impact at the local level, which is something that I didn't completely understand before.

A lot of interns come through this office, and it must be difficult not only keeping track of who's who, but having to be more-or-less constantly training them on the same things all the time. You've all been very accommodating and patient with these circumstances, and I really appreciate it. I'm sure you've been in our position one way or another - in college, preparing for a career, trying to get real-world experience - and I thank you for your understanding and support. Working here has been a great experience, and I hope I've helped you as much as you've helped me.

Best regards,

Adam Hill

  1. That's a great letter. Hearing how rewarding and interesting your position was as an intern lets me know that they work hard in that office to serve the folks in the district that Congressman Salmon serves. That's a great tribute to the Congressman.

  2. Your letter is really good. I like that you mentioned your understanding of how difficult it can be to keep training interns and you appreciated their patience.

  3. I feel similar to my boss/organization. Since we don't have a ton of experience there's a learning curve involved. I'm glad our organizations have been so helpful in getting us up to speed for our positions.
