Hello and thank you for your consideration of my application. Yes, I am extremely interested.

I need to let you know some things about me first. I am currently at a work release facility: Sante Fe Bridges in Gainesville, Florida. I am required to secure a job to remain here. My release date is August 2016, less than ten months away.

I was a lawyer and financial advisor for over 20 years. I averaged $200k each year for my first eight years in business. I averaged $650k/ each year in my last eight years. But after 16 years of marriage and three children, I became divorced. My wife moved far away with my children, a total of three times in three years. I left my business and moved to be with my kids. Ultimately, I ran out of money and was charged with felony theft. My crime had nothing to do with my business/licenses, but because of the felony, I lost them. I reached an open plea agreement hoping to receive probation so I could immediately begin paying restitution, but was instead received five years in state prison.

What I do still have is my knowledge and ability to work hard and pass my gifts to others. I am 51 years young however my remaining years are very valuable to me.

I strongly believe that I could best help an insurance agent that is having trouble in his or her production. I can teach him/her how to advertise, market, do mass mailings, hold seminars, and speak to prospects. My sales production was over one million each month for over 20 consecutive months. I achieved these results because someone trained me exactly how to conduct my business. Now, I am seeking to pass my knowledge and skills onto others.

You have my email, that's the best way to reach me. The phone here is for the employment specialist, Mr. Shavers at 352-***-****, he will be more than happy to speak to you. If you need to speak with me, I can use the office phone here and once employed, I will be allowed to own a cell phone.

I thought it best to get all this information out first. Please let me know what the next step is in this process. I am very eager to begin working.

Thank you very much in advance,

Bill Abruzzino Email: acr63e@r.postjobfree.com
