To Whom It May Concern,

I am looking for a challenging position in the area of Sales, Marketing,

and or Management.

It would be great if the position combined all of the above elements. I

have a ton of experience in a variety of fields which allows me to fit and

be molded into a large range of positions.

I have attached a bio/resume documenting my skills and wide range of

experiences. I thrive on learning. In every selling position I have ever

held I have been the top-producer. I work well independently and as part

of a team. I can't relocate since I have built up a thriving business

for my retirement years. The business now allows me the freedom to step

away and pursue other opportunities. It has given me additional skills to

assist with me re-entering the work place.

I have a ton of energy, have excellent health, and physically fit. I am

now looking to explore and find a great corporate position, where I can

thrive, combine all of my great skills and talents and assist in future

growth. I know I can be an asset to any company. Thanks, for your time,

and consideration.

Respectfully,

Ms. Sheritha Denise McKenzie
