98-761 Tremaine Avenue
Portland, ME 09876
Dear Ms. Wilcox:
Thank you for your warm response to my cold call! It is gratifying to
know that there are, indeed, executives who remember their own early
career struggles.
As promised, I’ve enclosed my resume and a list of my
accomplishments. Any advice you can offer on the presentation of both
would be most appreciated—as is your kind offer to introduce me to
your colleagues.
Together, my education and experience equip me to grasp quickly the
intricacies of the business world. My talents allow me to apply this
knowledge to the ways in which I can most directly contribute to your
profitability and performance.
I will follow up shortly to discuss your reaction to the enclosed
materials. Thank you again for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Brita Porthanoy
