Follow up Letter to a Contact Met at a Networking Event

Dear Mr. Thompson,

It was a pleasure meeting you at the Albany Young Business Professionals Reception last Friday. Your insights into the future of environmental law were fascinating, and only increased my interest in the field.

As you recommended, I contacted John Smith to discuss potential job openings at his firm. I will be meeting with him next weekend.

Please let me know if you hear of any other job openings for a paralegal in your firm, or if you have any further suggestions for people whom I should contact regarding open positions. I have attached my resume for your review.

Thank you so much for your assistance. I hope to see you at the Albany Young Business Professionals Cocktail Reception in the fall.

Sincerely,

Jane Adams
