Best way to respond to a request for CV after graduation I did a summer internship in an industry for 9 week. It was a great experience and my supervisor was a very formal and professional lady. She rarely smiled but appreciated my work every now and then. On my last day, she asked about my graduation date and I told her it’s just 6 months away as it was my last semester. 
She responded: "Send me your CV when you graduate.”

Now I want to write to her. How do I begin with that? It’s been 6 months and there’s no particular opening in that department. Should I send my CV in the first mail itself? If so should I also include a cover letter? What's the best way to introduce myself?
Just send a note with 1 to 3 short paragraphs.  


Remind her of the work you did together (you are colleagues, brothers in arms).  
Give her an update on what you have done during the last 6 months (e.g. papers you published, your thesis, courses you took).
Let her know what job options you are looking at (even prospects). Ask her for any advice on your prospects and whether she knows of any opportunity at her place or elsewhere.
Thank her for the time together and how it benefited you.


And yes, include the CV.
