Bayshore, OR 12345

Dear Ms. Jenkins,

With the current slowdown in hiring within the high-tech field, you must be flooded with resumes from out-placed software engineers such as myself. Please take a moment to consider my qualifications. I believe one in particular is highly marketable in this tight market:

  • I worked on the team that pioneered the technology that put the PalmPilot on the map.

In today's increasingly mobile society, this technology has places to go, and I have ideas that could take us to the next step in office independence.

Please call me with prospective job opportunities. I am interested in a project management position in the $95K range.

Thank you!

Charles Herring
