Dear Sir or Madam,

As a seasoned executive with over 20 years of business management

experience, I am writing to express interest in the Marketing position you

are attempting to fill. I feel my experience in managing businesses,

making product specific investment decisions, and direct ownership of P&L's

would be a great fit.

My background in marketing, product and finance roles have provided me with

a tremendous experience base from which to pull as I look at other

opportunities that may be available.

. As Director of Product Marketing for Wireless Data at Sprint I was

able to hit or exceed my budgeted revenue for the business every year

- over $6B in revenue.

. I have managed a staff of marketing/product managers and indirect

reports totaling over 20 people.

. I have made investment decisions in terms of:

o Development efforts and capital expense

o 3rd party partnerships

o New products and enhancements to launch

o Product decommissioning

o Marketing mix

o Etc.

. I have had complete P&L ownership on numerous products ranging from

voice services to integrated services to cutting edge wireless data

services. These roles have involved general management

responsibilities across the portfolio.

My current role as Controller/CFO has provided a greater level of exposure

to operations and financial analysis that will benefit me in future

positions. However, I am anxious to return to a product/marketing role.

My loyalty to my current employer has kept me in this role for nearly 4

years. I am interested in this opportunity and believe I can excel at it.

Please feel free to give me a call. I can be reached on my mobile at 816-

679-4679 or at home at 913-***-****.

Sincerely,

Bill Elliott
