Dear Mr. Simpson:

We have a friend in common. I was in Omaha last week for my college class reunion and had dinner with your neighbor, Robert Brown. Robert and I were talking shop and I told him about my desire to seek some new professional challenges. Yours was the first name Robert mentioned as a gold mine of information, especially in regard to catalog sales.

I would appreciate the opportunity of meeting with you to explore some ideas about increasing market penetration in the Pacific Northwest. Next month, I will be in Seattle on family business. Will you be my guest for lunch or dinner?

Next week I will call you to see if your crowded calendar allows you to spend some time with me.

Yours truly,

John Thomason
