Hello,                            

I had a chance to review your information on CareerBuilder, and I would like to talk to you regarding a current local opening in your area of expertise (Electrical Substation P&C Eng).

I have more than one current opening that I would like to discuss with you depending on your exp., so please return this with a current word document of your resume, and the best time I can reach you. The ones on Career Builder are not always the best format and I rather get it directly from you. This is an immediate need, so I would like to try to set up an interview with you as soon as possible.

If you are not interested, maybe you know someone that is? We offer referral incentives ($250.00), so you can help a friend, and put some money in your pocket. J

I look forward to talking with you, so please don’t hesitate to call me with any questions.

Mike Thompson
