By Tim Hepher PARIS (Reuters) - As General Electric tries to convince French leaders to back its offer to rescue engineering firm Alstom , it hopes that three letters will convince them of its good will: CFM. Co-owned by GE and Snecma, a unit of French aerospace group Safran , CFM has grown from a risky attempt to break into new civil markets into an aviation powerhouse with 26,000 units sold and a CFM-powered jet taking off every two seconds. General Electric Chief Executive Jeff Immelt brought up the engine supplier during a meeting with French President Francois Hollande to press GE's $13 billion offer on Monday, a person with knowledge of the discussions said. Immelt "stressed that CFM is an excellent example of co-operation", the person said, asking not to be identified.
