LETTER 4-5: NETWORKING—HEALTH CARE—WORKFORCE RETURN
Although the writer is not required to provide this information, she feels the reference to
daycare will alleviate any concerns her reader may have about reliability.

Ms. Angela Reese
Staffing Director
Massachusetts Municipal Hospital
1840 Wilmont Avenue
Shireville, MA 09876
Dear Ms. Reese:
I am writing at the suggestion of Francis Myers, a maternity nurse on your staff
and a close friend of mine. Francis thought that your needs and my talents
would fit ideally, and that we should meet.
By way of introduction, let me explain that I am returning to nursing after a
three-year absence. During this time, I had a son and relocated to the Boston
area. Now that I have made arrangements for day care, I am seeking to put my
skills back to work where they are needed: in a Burn Unit. My solid training
and in-depth experience have both focused on the care of burn victims and I
would like to return to my nursing specialty as soon as possible.
I will take the liberty of calling you next week to see if we might meet. If you
would be kind enough to leave word with your assistant, I will schedule a
meeting at your convenience. In the meantime, I thank you in advance for your
consideration.
Sincerely,

Elizabeth Morris
