Dear Bill:

Can I ask a favor of an old fraternity brother?

You see, in one way or another, this volatile economy affects us all -- and now it's my turn. Yes, I'm one of the 2400 loyal employees Camji has just laid off. So now I'm exploring options in our industry, including the possibility of launching a business of my own.

Your advice and perspective, Bill, would be very helpful to me as I decide what my next step will be. I'd appreciate it if you could spare some time to share your thoughts with me.

On the 25th of this month, I'll be in your area and would love to buy you lunch. I'll call next week to see if this is convenient.

Thanks in advance -- hope to see you.

All best,

Bert
