Making my introduction

As I embark on my new professional venture, I have to keep in mind that it's going to be a surprise to practically all of the people I know.  That is why I'm going to make my introduction into this realm, to those of my closest family and friends, as professional as possible.

The idea of sending my business card with a personal letter, on a totally cute note card, seems like the best way to go.  Other than the personal touch of receiving a letter in the mail, this is a simple, straight-forward, yet elegant way to announce the change in my career path and solicit well wishes and support!
