Hi Lucy,

I've been in and out of the office for the past few weeks but I've been meaning to contact you.  At this time, we are very slow on true open positions.  I have a recruiter under me now and he's been doing a good job of building a pipeline for some of our proposal positions.  Right now we don't need any assistance but you are our #1 go to network for rapid surge openings.  I'll let you know if something like that happens in the near future.  Thanks again for following up with me.
