Dear Hiring Manager,
Please accept the enclosed resume.
For more than 15 years, I have been a successful and profitable
entrepreneur. These accomplishments are directly attributed to the high-
quality customer service and hospitality I provide every day to every
client. Customers have remained loyal to my business through multiple
location changes and economic downturns. They have referred me to
relatives, friends, and co-workers, plus provided 4- and 5-star
recommendations on a variety of social media platforms.
Customers say that I am not only good at my job, but that I am also
reliable and responsive to their needs, and that I have excellent
communication skills. I hope to continue this tradition and work ethic with
your institution.
It is my mission to continue to provide exceptional service and to create a
one-of-a-kind service experience as I transition to a new career. I look
forward to speaking with you about the opportunity expanding on my
credentials and expertise.
Salary can be negotiated based on my experience and education.
Sincerely,
Idowu Koyejo
