Dear John,
I’m writing to let you know about a job opportunity here in London that I believe would suit you perfectly. It was great to hear from you after such a long time, and I’m glad to know you’re considering working in the UK again.
A reputable pharmaceutical company called Robin is currently hiring for the position of Customer Service Manager. The role involves coordinating with clients, overseeing a small team, and contributing to marketing and customer support strategies. It requires strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving abilities.
I thought of you immediately, as your background in customer service and your excellent interpersonal skills make you a strong candidate. You’ve already proven yourself in similar roles, and I believe this position aligns well with both your experience and career goals. Plus, the company offers a competitive salary and several attractive benefits.
If you’re interested, you can apply via the company’s official website by submitting your CV and a cover letter. Additionally, sending a direct email to the HR manager could boost your chances — let me know if you’d like their contact details.
Looking forward to hopefully seeing you here soon. Let me know if you need any help with the application process.
Best wishes,
Nini
