Dear Mr. Michel:

"Just Do It." That is what I said to myself after hanging up the phone with my friend Jim Heald. He had just described his conversation with you—about needing a new public relations person in Brazil. I had to write after hearing your requirements! Jim said they are the following:

My enclosed resume provides further details of my accomplishments and experience. I look forward to reviewing them with you. I will call you in a few days to see if we can meet next week and discuss how I can help you meet the goals for "Brasil futebol." I'm ready to go!

Sincerely,
