Dear Ms. Maynard:

Now that we’ve met several times, you know more about me. For
instance, you know that...

I am loyal and reliable.
I am willing to take on any project.
I see things through to completion.

I help my co-workers whenever I can.
I want very much to work for you!
Now that your hiring deadline is approaching, perhaps I can help make
your selection easier. Please feel free to call me in at any time for
another meeting. I would be happy to meet with others on your staff or
to complete a sample assignment for you.

I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,

Kevin P. Cast
