To Whom It May Concern:

Having optimized the construction of multi-million dollar mega-resort,

hotel, casino, retail, and institutional projects through outstanding

management, supervision, and trades expertise, I seek the opportunity to

join your company as a Superintendent. I believe that my proven ability to

direct complex projects through their entire life cycles including

architect / engineer design collaboration, blueprint assessment, budget

control / cost containment, and scheduling will make me a valued member of

your team.

My employment experience has provided me with the versatility and

flexibility to complete high visibility construction projects on-time, with-

budget, and with perseverance. I also have a talent for building

productive, trusting relationships with project owners, colleagues, and

government officials and motivating, training, and mentoring junior

carpenters and other trades people. These attributes coupled with my

leadership ability and tenacity will provide me with the credibility and

confidence necessary to be an asset to your organization.

I have a valid U.S. passport, am available to relocate for projects, and am

very interested in learning more about your company and how I can help you

succeed. Please contact me at your earliest convenience to schedule a

meeting. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing

from you.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Burton
