Dear CTO/CIO,

I've just left five years at adidas—most recently as Director of Business Systems for adidas Asia—to start up Kanda River Limited. As I build up my consultancy, I'm interested in doing short-term work with industry leaders such as you—to better understand the market and its needs.

If you need a spare hand for critical path items during a time crunch, I believe I can help, for example with:

	research
	vendor screening
	system evaluation
	Web 2.0 advice
	report/presentation prep
	speech writing
	budget planning
	business case preparation
	etc.

I know what it's like to be in a senior position and have, say, two man-days of quality work to be done. And no time to do it myself. And no one I can delegate it to.

I'm hoping you would have 30 minutes for me to stop by your office and introduce myself, and explain my background and capabilities.

Sincerely,

Dan Carew
