Dear Mr. Alan:

Jack Jones suggested I contact you concerning assistance with a career change.
I am a highly experienced industrial engineer looking for a position with a firm
that understands what it takes to succeed in today’s marketplace.

As the enclosed resume illustrates, I offer a solid background in both
manufacturing and engineering, with more than 30 years of experience in a
variety of working environments.

In a recent situation, a decision was made to set up a manufacturing cell to
eliminate serious efficiency problems in a plastic extruding process. I organized
the group and then developed and implemented the program. Production
increased by 45 percent, and the floor space required for the process was
reduced by 22 percent.

I would greatly appreciate any information or referrals you could provide. I am
convinced that networking will be the key to successfully finding the right
position. Can we get together for twenty minutes sometime next week? I will
call you in the next several days to schedule an appointment at your
convenience.

Sincerely,

Yuki Shimura
