Greetings;

Thank you for taking the time to view my resume in application for the open

position. I am sure that your decision will be a tough one to make, but I

feel that I am a very good fit and would be an asset based upon my proven

track record of mission accomplishment. Some of the success I have, which

are not reflected in my resume include; Guest Relations at the Courtyard by

Marriott, bartender at the Ground Round restaurant in New York City, bar-

back and busboy at various clubs in New York City, even Mortgage

refinancing (which coincidently showcased my salesmanship quality and

flexibility). You may also find me on the web at LinkedIn or Facebook where

you will find recommendations for me. Have a great day and I look forward

to discussing my qualifications further.

Sincerely,

Chris A. McNair
