Please accept this letter as an introduction and a request for a

meeting to discuss how my 36 years of experience, including landscape

design and construction, can help assist your company create and sustain a

significant growth of business and productivity. The attached resume and

portfolio describes my company, Mark Eliot Design LLC, where I directed

sales and marketing, design, construction management and customer

satisfaction that enabled the company to garner an industry leadership

position. These skills and experience were provided to key commercial,

corporate, residential and golf course clients and allowed my company to be

one of the top service providers in New York Metro area.

Key working areas of expertise include: sales, design, permit

management, sub-contractor direction and detail completion of the project.

I then implement a year round maintenance program and specifications for

all horticultural and turf procedures, including an equipment list and

manpower requirements. I remain on as a consultant to oversee maintenance

and to design any new construction projects.

I would very much like to meet with you to discuss how I designed and

managed the irrigation, masonry, night lighting and the pool renovation of

the Dubois estate in Greenwich, CT. One of the projects that I am most

proud of is the irrigation design of the renovated Yankee Stadium in 1976.

My horticultural and design experience are a strong asset in training

your key personnel to a level of excellence.

I urge you to open my portfolio so you can see, share and feel my love

and passion for my work and profession. May I have the opportunity to meet

with you in order to learn more of your company goals and how I could play

a key role in achieving them?

Sincerely,
