Dear Sam,
Congratulations on your promotion to executive vice president in charge of real estate. I am delighted, but not surprised, by your success. Western States had the good sense to choose the most qualified person for the job.
Call me once you get settled. We’ll have lunch and discuss several deals that look like opportunities for both our companies.
Cordially,
Jeanette Filippe
