Dear Mister MacFusty,
Please  do not think me forward for writing to you.  I am considering a career at the ministry, specifically in the beast division, and working with Dragons would be fascinating.  I have all of the academic requirements required  for such a career but would be interested in investigating to see if the department might be a good match for my skills and interests. 

Might I be able to arrange an appointment with yourself, or a member of your department in the coming weeks at your earliest convienance. 

Kind Regards
M Backus
