Dear Justin Holloway,
Greetings! My name is Raya Johnston and we met last month at the teaching convention that was held at the Ruby Hotel. I really enjoyed listening to your presentation regarding behavioral psychology and how it affects our teaching practice. I really got a lot of wonderful ideas that I was able to implement in my class.
Unfortunately, because of financial constraints and the economy being what it is, the school I work for is looking to make cuts and my department will be one of the most affected. With this, I have taken it upon myself to start looking for new job opportunities. This is actually one of the main reasons why I am writing. I want to ask for your help in getting leads on possible teaching positions in your area. I have enclosed my curriculum vitae for you to look at and assess my qualifications to see where you believe I would fit best.
I would greatly appreciate any help that you could give me. I have also enclosed my business card to inform you of my contact details. I really hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Dikranouhi
