LETTER 4-9: NETWORKING—FINANCIAL—JOB LOSS

Mr. Colin Curtis
Executive Vice President
NationsTrust Bancorporation
Chicago, IL 09876
Dear Mr. Curtis:
When last we met, we spent some time discussing the inviolability of
the Glass-Steagall Act. Lo and behold, shortly thereafter, our legislators
overturned this venerable standard!
Therefore, I thought you’d be interested in seeing the enclosed article,
featured in the Economist’s current issue, which analyzes the effect that
such a dramatic move is having on banks’ consumer investment base.
Obviously, now is the time for devising proactive strategies to keep this
profitable market from further eroding, and the article highlights the
actions that several financial institutions have already taken.

Mr. Curtis, I thought of you immediately upon reading this article
because I found our discussion so enlightening. I also appreciate the
interest you expressed at that time in my attempts to further my career. I
am continuing my search and will keep you informed. In the meantime,
should your firm’s hiring freeze be lifted, I hope you will think of me.
Your organization has been at the top of my wish list for years, and after
meeting you, I am certain that our association would be immensely
productive for us both.
Thank you again for your interest.

All best,

Pauline Sinclair
