Dear Sir or Madam:

Please review the information included for the honor of being considered to partner with

your company to increase gross revenues and profits.

As you read the resume, you will notice that during the first twelve months with

AmeriPride, records were broken with no previous industry experience. Our team

finished #1 in the USA for increase in gross revenues for 2007 over 2006. This should be

proof that the industry, product nor market is of concern.

Building and developing personnel, markets, and/or territories for profit are challenges

that I have met for years. For example, at the age of twenty, I was the youngest tire store

manager in the USA for Firestone.

Personal experiences include working three decades in the business, residential and

commercial construction, including architects and engineers, industrial and

manufacturing markets solving communications, security, safety, mechanical, chemical

monitoring, and other needs. Success with these companies was partially due to multi-

level presentations up to and including the CEO at times.

Examples of the platform companies that I have served are:

Jim Walter Resources Sears Weyerhaeuser

Michelin U of A Birmingham City of Birmingham

Hunt Refining Dow Chemical Kraft Foods

BE&K Georgia-Pacific McWane Pipe

University of Alabama Home Depot The Southern Company

Veterans Hospital MacMillan Bloedel AT&T

State of Alabama DCH Regional Hospital U A B Hospital

Mercedes Kimberly-Clark Wal Mart

Shell Oil B.L. Harbert International Lowes

I sincerely appreciate your consideration and look forward to hearing from you very

soon.

Respectfully,

Bobby Spencer
