Here's my Official Job-Hunting Networking Letter (tm):
I'm hoping you might be able to help me in my search for work. I'm
looking for short-term or long-term contract work, on-site or off-site,
and I'm particularly interested in doing C#/.Net programming. Do you know
anyone who works at a company which is doing work in this area, including
contract agencies? I'm willing to travel anywhere in the contiguous 48
states.
I've included an ASCII version of my resume; you can find other versions

Please feel free to forward my resume and/or the web page URL to anyone
that you think might be interested in my skills.
