[nagdu] letter of introduction

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Danielle.
I always send a letter with my application.  No one has ever said that it's 
helpful, but I think it must be.  I want them to have plenty of information 
while making my match.
I say what my work schedule is like, how often I go out besides work, what 
kind of transport I use most, what the areas are like where I work most 
often, and any characteristics I really want, or don't want.
So, for example, I would say that I work in an urban environment with a lot 
of traffic and crowds, as well as a quieter town with idiot drivers who 
don't look for pedestrians.  I take buses, subways, and taxis.  I do not 
want a dog who is constantly bouncing off the walls. I really prefer a 
smaller dog, not more than 70 pounds.
That kind of thing.
Tracy
