Dear Patrick,
I am with an executive search firm based here in the Washington D.C. area. My client, the MITRE Corporation, has retained us to identify candidates for a Senior Acquisition Officer role based in Clarksburg, WV. As you’ll see, I’ve attached the position announcement and the outreach email we are using is below.
As a WVU alumna, I thought it would be wise to reach out to WVU networks to inquire about sharing this career opportunity. If you would, please pass this information along to your alumni association (e.g. online, social media, listerve).
Please let me know if you have questions regarding this information, or if you have recommendations as to possible candidates. I would be glad to offer more information.
Thank you, in advance, for your assistance!
Best wishes,
Jennifer

I have attached a position announcement, for your review. If this opportunity looks like it might be of interest to you, please let me know.
