Subject: position open - please forward to Linux Admins
Hello Dave,
I recently viewed your resume posted on your website and noticed a connection to the Phoenix Linux User Group. May I ask a favor of you? If you wouldn't mind, please forward this to any colleagues who are qualified as Sr. Linux System Administrators. This position is based in Phoenix, AZ. We have a budget of $85k-$100k (depending upon years of experience) plus full benefits. For the right person, I may be able to push the client slightly over $100k, but it would have to be someone very senior.
