If any of you have any ideas or contacts, please do make suggestions.

I am just trying to help out my new friend, who was recently laid off and now
seeks employment.

Here are some excerpts from his resume.

He is well spoken, charming, charismatic.  He is from Bangladesh, but has been in NYC many years. I judge him to be in his early 30s

His command of English is excellent.

He seems to be a very high energy individual.

If you have any suggestions regarding whom he might contact, it would be so wonderful of you to help out.

I do apologize for my boldness in writing you like this, since our acquaintance is so casual.  Actually I met this fellow in the same way that I met you. We struck up a conversation in the subway, and discussed literature and politics for 2 hours, standing in Grand Central station.

And here are the excerpts from his resume:



Production coordinator position currently available to your organization. Following please find a resume attached highlighting some of my professional experience that I am looking forward to discuss with you personally.
