Dear Lucille,
Yesterday, the application I designed and developed hit over 600K downloads on the App Store. Not only my improvements to the company's programming languages made OHi sky-rocket the revenue (+200% in six months), but they also affected the company's recognisability among tech giants. While I was reading your job posting, I'd felt from the start that with my matching skills and expertise, we could do better together.
