To whom it may concern,

Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to give me the

opportunity to submit my qualifications. I am energetic and ready to take

on new challenges. I possess the ambition and organizational skills to

enhance the success of your business.

Previously, I have worked as a draftsman and have 21+ years experience as

an Autocad/CAD Operator and/or CAD Manager. I have achieved an excellent

teamwork mentality as well as technical skills. Enclosed is a copy of my

resume. Please carefully consider my qualifications in terms of education

and experience. You'll see a 2 year period from 2007-2009 that does not

show CAD experience. That was because I became a Realtor and Certified

Property Mgr. those years. My resume does not, of course, reflect the

important intangible qualities of character, personality, health, and

appearance. To exhibit these qualities, I would like the opportunity to

discuss my candidacy in a personal interview at your convenience. I also

would like to note that I have worked in the Architectural/Space Planning

type of industry for the past 20 years or so but I was originally trained

in mechanical drafting and I do possess a Certificate in Mechanical

Drafting. I have also completed (4) day Solidworks 2008 course at Digital

Dimensions, Inc. (DDI) in San Diego, CA. I have some of that work in my

Portfolio that I could show if interested.

Thank you for your consideration. I welcome the opportunity to meet with

you to discuss ways I could contribute towards being a successful Autocad

Drafter with your company. Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Marc Abbink
