I hope this email finds you well. John Smith very kindly passed me your email address saying that you were very knowledgeable with respect to investment banking and that you were excellent at problem solving! My problem at present is trying to get a foot in the door with an investment bank- as i'm sure many others are aswell with the markets as they are at the moment. I have attached my CV and wondered if you could provide any advice or know of any opportunities available at present. I am primarily interested in a career in fixed income sales but I am very open minded with a well rounded knowledge of most areas following my degree in accounting and finance.
