To Whom It May Concern:
My name is James Gunsolus and I am writing this letter in hopes of obtaining a
challenging career in management within your company. Having served an honorable
term in the United States Marine Corps, I hope to commit my strengths of leadership
and work ethic in order to achieve the utmost success not only for myself, but more
importantly your company. Before joining the military I gained more than eight years
of extensive experience in retail, managing large corporations such as Rite Aid.
Now disabled and unable to serve my country in combat, I plan to bring my
leadership skills to the workforce and contribute to your organization. I received
many honorable awards while serving my country, including but not limited to the
Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, Good Conduct Medal, Certificate of
Commendation, and two Honor Graduate Medals. Through hard work and strive for
achievement, I earned the title of Sergeant within two years of my service.
My dedication to any occupation is a prime example of the person I am and always
will be. I am confident that I will become an undeniably suitable asset to any
company, and am grateful for any opportunities that may arise. I am strong willed and
passionate, and will never give up on my conquest for greatness.
I have enclosed my resume for further consideration with your company. I appreciate
your time and look forward to meeting with you.
