Master carpenter

March *, ****

Dear Sir/Ms:

I want a new job opportunity! While I enjoy my present job at Kohler Awning, it does not avail

me the opportunity to advance and use all my knowledge. I want to expand on the variety of

work required each day.

I will be an asset because I am an honest, hard worker. I believe in quality and throughout my

life I always strive toward A+ work performance. Because of my past job experiences and

challenges, I am knowledgeable and experienced in making good judgments in the work place.

Living in central Buffalo, I am available for work with good transportation.

Your consideration is appreciated, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Russell A. Mortellaro
