Dear Prospective Employer,

I have recently relocated from Long Island, New York to Clearwater,

Florida. The purpose of the move was for cost savings as well as to escape

the harsh winters up north.

Below are my qualifications in the field of Procurement.

I look forward to exploring ways for both of us to meet our goals.

Thank you in advance for your time.

Sincerely,

Rich Tauby
