Subject: Prospective hire
Dear Vince
I know that you are always looking for good  prospective hires so I am bringing this to your attention. Armando Ugarte who is  a former Ph.D. student of mine is currently working for i2 in Texas but told me  recently that he is considering a career move. Armando has a very interesting  background combining excellent training in economics and operations research  with extensive practical experience in IT working as software architect and  application developer for HP, Oracle and i2. I know Armando for over 14 years  since his undergraduate studies in our department and was always fascinated by  his broad spectrum of talents and experience. I am enclosing his resume. I do  not exactly know what his immediate plans are and if he has already another job  lined up. He told me ,however , that he would like to make better use of his  education. He took the job at i2 after deciding, for personal reasons, to  repatriate from Colombia where he held a faculty position. I highly recommend  him as a hard worker, solid and mature researcher and a very likable person. If  you are interested you should contact him directly. His contact info is on his  resume.
Regards, Shmuel.
