LETTER 4-20: NETWORKING—RESTAURANT

Mr. Perry Alban
Jones, Miller and Robertson
5376 Valley Drive
San Bernadino, CA 09876
Dear Perry:

It’s been a while since we’ve seen one another. I hope all is well
with you, Linda, and your two spunky boys!

You may have heard that I recently married and now have a baby
on the way—and this is why I’m writing. Now that I am a family
man myself, I am searching for a position in the
restaurant/hospitality business that is more career-oriented, one that
offers benefits and security.

As part of my search, I am writing to my colleagues and friends to
see whether anyone might be aware of hiring activity, either
current or planned. If so, I would be grateful if you could pass
along my name—or let me know whom to contact.

Perry, after working in this business for 20 years, you know my
broad-based experience and the skills I offer. I am an industrious
worker who takes interest in my work and pride in my
performance.
Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
All best,

Lincoln H. Nelar
