Dear Ms. Cook,
Brett Taylor, one of your senior consultants, called to inform me of the recent opening at your firm for an international economist. Brett knows that I have been seeking to move into the private sector after more than 15 years working as an international economist for the U.S. Department of Commerce.
I am writing without the advantage of having seen a job posting, so I would be most appreciative of receiving a job posting or description. If sending me this information does not violate any of your search protocol, please fax me at home at (310) 555-3859.

I would be happy to provide you with references and other information you might need at any time. However, I hope that we may meet soon. Thanks for your consideration of this application.
Respectfully yours,
Martha Klingman
