Hello

Here's a copy of my standard email introducing myself to prospective writing clients.

Hello,

I'm writing to let you know that I am available to perform business and technical writing on a contract basis.   Since 1987, I have worked for technology businesses in many capacities: as a software engineer, marketing manager, and strategic consultant.  This work has always involved writing, including:

-  marketing and PR materials,
-  articles and conference papers,
-  reports (business strategy, technology strategy, systems architecture),
-  and guides, manuals, and training materials. 

My written work has consistently received highly favorable feedback, and my marketing and sales materials have always evoked superior response rates. 

Clients and employers for whom I have done this work include:

-  Hewlett-Packard
-  Sun Microsystems
-  Cambridge Incubator
-  Citibank
-  MIT
-  MessageMachines, Inc.
-  Cadence Design Systems.

I studied computer science at Sacramento State University and communications at Northwestern.  My  MBA is from the MIT Sloan School of Management. 

I hope you will forward a copy of this email to anyone in your organization who may need assistance in the areas of marketing, PR, strategic analysis, internal communications, or investor relations.  If you are interested in speaking further, or would like to see my full resume, please reply to this email or phone me at 781-641-9520.  I look forward to an opportunity to help your company achieve its goals.

Thanks very much for taking a moment to read this note.

Sincerely,
Max Hansen
