Dear Human Resources Manager,
Thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing my attached resume. My wife and I have decided to move back to Wisconsin to be close to family. I hope my information is something that would benefit your company and I would appreciate the opportunity for a personal interview. I would arrange for my own travel needs to accomplish this. I also ask that you do not contact my current employer.
Sincerely,
Dane Thompson
