Subject: Consulting opportunity for chemists
Dear Virginia College & University Chemistry Chairs or Department Heads…we are looking to hire several chemists (full and part time consulting positions) to work on a classified Department of Homeland Security (DHS) project starting this Fall and we are wondering if you, members of your staff, or perhaps some of your graduate students may be interested.
More information on the opportunity, quoted from the government solicitation for the contract, appears below my signature block.
If you know or learn of someone interested, kindly pass them my contact info. Thank you very much! Cheers. R, Hank Chase
PS if you would also kindly pass my note to your counterpart in your schools' Chemical Engineering program, if you have one, I would be most appreciative! Thanks!
