National Interiors & Decorators,
257 Park Avenue South,
New York, NY 12345-6789.
Dear John,
Regional Interiors & Decorators, the firm I worked with for the last six years, was sold at year-end and merged with another interior firm. As a result, my job was eliminated. I am looking forward towards opportunities locally here in New York. I'm looking for some advice and counsel from people I know and trust.
I'd like to continue to be a senior designer in financial company architecture (banks, insurance company, etc.). I like being a part of a dynamic organization, and I am looking for that next opportunity.
You're a successful person with friends who are also successful. Perhaps you, or someone you know, are cognizant of a firm that needs someone with my capabilities. If so, I'd appreciate your giving them a copy of the enclosed resume, and I'd like their name so that I can contact them personally.
My earlier job has been exciting, and
I'm sure the next opportunity will hold even more promise. I'm glad about the prospect for change and I hope that you can help me make sure it's a positive change. I'd appreciate your thoughts and ideas. Thanks for your help.
Sincerely,
Richard Anderson.
