Writing a Letter of Inquiry

I was Laid off from my job three months ago. Since then, I’ve been Pounding the pavement looking for another job. So far, nothing has Turned up, so I decided To take the bull by the horns and deliver Inquiry letters to every company that might have a Job opening.
…

Dear Ms. Smith (or the name of their Personnel officer):

I am writing to inquire about any job openings you may have for someone with my experience and Qualifications. I worked for six years as a software engineer for McQ Corp. and I have Extensive training and experience related to software development.

I have Enclosed a copy of my Resume. I would appreciate an opportunity to speak with you regarding any openings you may have or any Consulting work your company requires.

Thank you for your Consideration, and please don’t Hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Steve Woz
…

I’m planning to personally deliver each letter, with the hope of talking with someone in the company. It is going take a lot of time and Legwork, but I Have no intention of sitting home and Twiddling my thumbs while I wait for my next job!
