It was with particular interest that I read the profile of your company that appeared in the most recent issue of Inc. magazine.
The creativity, energy, and leadership which came across in the article are just the types of adjectives that I would like to be able to use in describing my ideal job. In particular, after 10 years in the accounting departments of two large high technology companies, I have decided that I am ready to take on the challenge of a smaller high tech firm: one that would allow me to expand my professional horizons, while benefiting from my specialized financial skills.
I have just begun my job hunt, and am hoping to gather as much information as possible before I begin looking in earnest. I am particularly interested in learning from the experiences of successful technology entrepreneurs such as yourself. Would it be possible to take a few minutes of your time to discuss my career plans? I will plan to call your office next week to see if an appointment may be arranged.
I appreciate your consideration, and hope to be able to meet with you soon.
