Ms. Helen Muir LETTER 4-16: NETWORKING—GENERAL
FronTech Systems, Inc.
605 Technology Drive
Columbus, OH 09876
Dear Helen:
When I heard through the grapevine that you had joined FronTech, I was thrilled
for you! I know that you’ve been anxious to find the ideal position, and I truly
hope that this is it.
Although FronTech has a sterling reputation, I know that you’ll find some way to
improve its standing. After what you achieved for MVRS, I can only say that the
competition had better look out!

And, Helen, since I currently work for one of those very competitors, I thought
this might be the perfect time for us to be on the same team. (After all, if I can’t
beat you I might as well join you.) If you are or will be in the position to add to
your staff, I hope you’ll keep me in mind. As you know, my track record is
exceptional, my achievements legendary, and my motivation as strong as ever.
(OK, so my modesty needs work.)
Before you get ensconced in management meetings, let me buy you lunch. We’ll
celebrate your new job and explore what the future may bring. My treat.
I’ll call you next week.
Best,

Ruth Miller-Syms
