Dear Hiring Manager/ Human Resources Representative,

I am interested in applying for the Marketing Manager position as sent to me by email from Lesley

McBride. I would love to work for the FMI group since I am a current employee of Pizza Hut in Brantford,

Ontario and used to work at another Pizza Hut in 2006 in Goderich, Ontario. I feel I have the knowledge from a

personal perspective about this side of the company in particular. I also have the qualifications from an

educational standpoint with my degree in Public Relations from Wilfrid Laurier University, and certificate in

Integrated Marketing Communications from Conestoga College.

I have some experience working in the field while I was at Conestoga and had to work for a client in a

small group. Together, the four of us came up with a marketing plan for a new company and how they could

better raise awareness about their new product. After we wrote the plan and put all the finishing touches on it,

we were required to present it for the clients, which went really well. I have also worked on another marketing

plan individually while working at an adult learning center in Brantford.

I am a fast learner and I am a people person. I am willing to relocate from my current residence in

Ontario to Nova Scotia for this position if it is offered to me. Thank you for your consideration and taking the

time to review my resume and cover letter. I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Thank you,

Kim Schotman
