Dear Matt,

Season’s Greetings!

I trust things are going well for you and that you are enjoying settling into your new career. Knowing your professional style, I have no doubt you will be a very successful broker within a short time.

My "executive marketing campaign" is coming together well. It should be in full swing by the New Year. I have not yet contacted Ms. Daniels, but intend to do so soon, now that my printed resume is ready, and my beard is off once again.

I have enclosed two copies of my resume, and would appreciate it very much if you could make me aware of any interesting situations that come to your attention. Please note that my skills are not restricted to financial accounting. Related administrative positions, such as computer systems management are also of interest to me.

Once again I'd like to thank you for your help and cooperation in turning around the Robertson situation. While I have received all the credit, I know that without the cooperation of the commercial lending officer, the outcome would have been very different.

Yours truly,


Douglas P. Arnold, Jr.
