To whom it may concern,
I am a relatively recent MBA graduate looking to become involved in microfinance and would like to learn more about your organization. I was also wondering if there were any opportunities with your organization or if you could refer me to someone in the area that might be able to accommodate such a possibility. Any information would be helpful, thanks for your time and consideration.
Regards,
Ian

There is an exciting Microfinance conference coming up on May 28, 2009 through the Opportunity Fund in San Francisco.
Opportunity Fund, in partnership with Kiva, Stanford University, and the Silicon Valley Community Foundation will host the first state-wide conference highlighting microfinance as a smart investment for California on May 28, 2009. This hands-on event will demonstrate the success of microfinance to date through interactive panels, tours of microfinance borrowers in the Bay Area, and opportunities for industry leaders to connect on innovations in microfinance throughout the state.
The conference will highlight microfinance strategies and practices unique to the United States economy, including the role of financial institutions in community development and the
importance of financial education in the context of a predatory lending crisis.
If you would like more information and chances to volunteer at the event, please email me at krishna.a.shah@gmail.com
thanks!
