I’m reaching out to you because you indicated on your profile that you were in healthcare staffing and possibly open to doing some splits. We have a lot of open job orders and offer a 50/50 fee split. Would you be open to discussing ways we could collaborate from time to time?

I've missed your wit. Sorry I haven't been around much. I was hibernating (and you all wondered where bikers go in the winter).
Talk to you soon.
