Dear Sir or Madame'

In today's business climate, it is the forward thinking company which will

experience continued growth and success. I believe you will find very few

candidates with a level of diversity and experience such as mine-and it's

one I'd like to put to work on your behalf.

My versatile background offers you a self accountable, self managing,

adaptable, professional who requires little or no training and possesses

problem solving and communication skills to successfully complete scheduled

jobs, as well as those "last minute" projects that require that extra push

for an on time completion.

Having worked as a Supervisor, Machinist, and utilizing my Welding skills

in a variety of Manufacturing Industries, I have the background and

discipline to be the missing piece in your corporate puzzle. Currently I am

employed in Washington with GE Aviation as a Front Line Support Machinist

Supervisor, due to relocate to Texas in July 2013. I would like to talk

about how I can put these qualifications, and others summarized in the

enclosed resume' to work for you when I arrive in Texas in June. I look

forward to hearing from you and the opportunity for an interview.

Sincerely,

Richard V. Durham Sr.
