Attention: Human Resources

Dear Sir or Madam:

Due to having had cancer I have not been able to work in the recent past, ay this time I am in full health and ready to rejoin the working world. I moved to the Toronto area from Edmonton Alberta Canada to be near family that need support due to aging issues.

My previous employment and volunteer positions have strengthened my already considerable administrative abilities. I see knowledge as a strong component of good customer service. My customers or staff can count on me to be the expert on new products and services. It is exciting to point out the features of new products and demonstrate how beneficial they can be in everyday use.

From a service standpoint, I have many years of experience investigating and rectifying problems for both internal and external customers, maintaining records and databases, and surpassing established quality standards. I particularly enjoy investigating problems resulting from technical difficulties.

While I appreciate the benefits of working in a team environment, I truly believe that a gold team player is someone who can work independently within a team. It would be a pleasure to become a member of a successful team as such as yours and to be part of an exciting and rapidly developing industry.

Thank you in advance for considering my application. It would be my pleasure to discuss my qualifications with you further at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Garry Samuels
