Re: Greetings + Reference Request!
Hi Jeffrey,
It's been ages! Hope you are well! ...I keep in touch with Sarah from time-to-time, so I get a nice update from her about you every now and then, and it was very exciting to recently read about the amazing Cancer Metastasis Research that you are funding. I have always been in awe of your kindness and generosity.
Meanwhile, I hope you don't mind me asking if you would be willing to give me a glowing reference all these years later. I just made it through 7 rounds of interviews for a role supporting Hedge Fund Manager, Phillipe Laffont and have been advised that they will offer me the job contingent upon receiving good references...however, when they called Ghislaine, she advised that she hardly remembered me and I am afraid that this has made me look a bit bad. I know that it's been just as long since I've worked for you but I remember what nice things you offered to both John Sykes and Barry Diller on my behalf years ago, and I wonder if you recall me well, if you might be willing to say some nice words about me again.
I appreciate your reply and any/all help that you might be willing to offer me.
Many many thanks and best,
Jen Doyle
Of course
You are the best! Thank you so much!
They may not need to call you after all, in which case, I am sorry to have wasted your time with my lengthy email, but in the case that they change their minds, I hope you don't mind me being in touch again to ask for your best, current phone number.
With heartfelt appreciation,
Jen Doyle
