Hello All,

I'm very interested in having a quick chat w you to learn a out your professional goals and tell you about a position w one of my clients.

The Client had a mature suite of products w a good team and lots of potential. I promise not to waste your time.

If this is not the right opportunity for you, please consider passing this info along to anyone in your network that may want to hear about a new opportunity.

All the best,
