My friend Les Basinger hired me to consult for BATTELLE, one of the country's largest research facilities. Les was John Vorrasi's boss at BATTELLE, and when Les left the company, he referred me to John.
Now my task was to prove myself to John, and I began with this letter. I included a testimonial from Randall Blackstone, a recent client. Jennifer Martin was a potential executive coaching client at BATTELLE.

Dear John:
I thought this letter from Randall Blackstone might interest you. Randy was the Zone Controller for Asear Devices in Tustin, California. They hired me to outplace him, and we worked together for exactly three months.
I'd like to talk with you about Jennifer Martin, and I'd also like to hear how the Human Resources Planning Society meeting went.
I'll call in the next week or so. Or you call me.
Enthusiastically,
William S. Frank
