Dear David:

I received your response to Rod's e-mail to you.

As Senior Partner at Mudd & Associates, my initial
response was, "what has Rod done"?

But as I read further, I could see why he would want to
tell you about the opportunity he is working on.  You
obviously are apart of the "top talent" he's targeting.

We are accustomed to recruiting for projects
utilizing  "bleeding edge" technology and we continually
try to keep in touch with talented individuals such as yourself.
Individuals such as yourself are usually not actively looking,
but like to be kept abreast of "outstanding opportunities
in the marketplace.

The individuals that we work with, that know how we
work, and the type of assignments we work on, appreciate
the way we work. Rod's initial contact with you did not appear
to be intrusive.  If it offended you, please accept my most
sincere apologies.

David I must be honest with you, if he found you, introduced
himself and his opportunity, I would find it very difficult
to reprimand him.   He has actually done a good job.

I just wish you had been interested in learning more about
the opportunity.  Then you would have been more thoroughly
introduced to our total recruitment process, and had a better
understanding of why our clients, appreciate our introductions

If you are truly interested, I will let you know, when our website
is completed.  Our Internet presence certainly needs
an update and an overhaul.   That should be completed
in the not too distant future.  At that time, I would
like to personally invite you back, to give us another
very generous critique.

Again, I apologize for any inconvenience our initial
contact may have caused you.  If you still feel that
you would prefer no relationship with Mudd & Associates,
no further contact will be made to you.

Thank you for your time David.  It was appreciated.

Yours Truly,

Charlotte Colbert-Mudd
