This is probably very simple but I can't figure out how to do it. 

I need to get a list of files whose file names ends with any of the file suffix I set in a list. Below is a pseudo-code example of what I want to do. Can anybody help? 

tell application "Finder" 
	set myFileSuffixes to {"PDF", "EPS", "TIFF", "TIF"} 
	set myFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Please select the folder that contains the files you want to place.") 

	set myFiles to files of myFolder whose name ends with (whatever is in myFileSuffixes) 

end tell
