REF: Director, Business Development

Dear Sir or Madam,

Your company listed the need for a Director, Business Development for your

client in Dayton, OH. I am currently in the market for just such a

challenge, and believe my skills and experience are an exceptional fit for

this position.

As you will see by my resume, my qualifications meet the requirements

outlined in the job details, including a Bachelors Degree, over 20 years in

management, sales, marketing and extensive experience in building strong

client and customer relationships. I also have experience with clients in

the technical, telecommunications and financial industries. I also have a

very strong understanding of procurement in many industries, including my

military career, as a print and media buyer for a national homebuilder and

also as an independent businessman.

My exceptional work ethic and self-starting nature are also valuable

assets. My military experience has taught me effective teamwork and how to

approach tasks through a mission first orientation. Being a self-starter

and highly motivated person with strong work ethic are ideal traits that

you will find essential in meeting the demands of this critical position.

You should also be aware that since 2003 I have been working from my home

office while acting as primary care-giver for my father who was disabled.

Unfortunately he passed away in September of 2008. Since that time, I've

been working with existing clients to fulfill existing obligations which

have subsequently been met. I am now ready for a new challenge and seeking

a new career opportunity, plus my wife and I have just relocated Dayton,

OH.

Would you grant me an interview so that we can meet in person and discuss

your needs and my skills and experience in greater detail? Please call me

on my cell phone at 334-***-**** or email *********@**********.***. I look

forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,
