Dear Ms. Abdin,

We met at the Corporate Strategy meeting last month, but I didn't get a chance to give you a business card and ask if you are willing to join my career network.

I am writing today to send you all my contact information, including my business card, because I think it could be mutually beneficial to share this information with you.

While we work in different areas of the organization, I felt the rapport we shared was so strong that we should keep in contact, possibly work together on a future endeavor.

Thanks for your time. I look forward to hearing back with your contact information -- and your acceptance into my network of contacts.

Sincerely,

Scott Morris
