To Whom It May Concern,
I am writing to express my interest in your Company; therefore, please allow me to submit my résumé for your review. Having served in the auto industry for the past 19 years, with continued success in achieving high results, I am confident that I can make a valuable contribution to your organization’s future goals.
Resumes are a standard procedure in acquiring a position or searching for that right fit for your position. So many times we shortcut the most important step in building a successful and profitable dealership. Selling cars is all I know so I can’t compare it to anything else, but I urge you, not that my resume isn’t complete and thorough; my references will tell you more about me and what I represent.
Thank you for any future opportunity and I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Anthony L. Taylor
