I'm writing you on the recommendation of Matt Newman. Matt has told me about your work and recent promotion within Crestwood Communities. I am very interested in a career in the administration of retirement communities, especially those that offer full-service health care. Would it be possible for you to meet with me to share some information about your profession?
My training is in social work with an emphasis on gerontology. After six years as a case worker with senior citizens, I returned to school to pursue a Master's degree in Business Administration. I graduated last month, and I'm excited about pursuing my goal of combining my experience and training in a management position on behalf of the elderly. I have enclosed my resume for your information and convenience.
I will call you next week to arrange an appointment, if possible. I will be in your area during the second week of March--perhaps we can meet then.
