To Whom It May Concern:

I am interested in securing a full-time permanent position that will fully

utilize my civilian work and or military experience. I know that my

background and experience will provide an effective and successful

association with a company such as yours.

I have experience in war zones, office environments, home health care

environments, construction environments, warehouse environments and natural

environments. I have excelled in each of these environments. I have used

weapons, office equipments, construction equipment, manufacturing and

production equipment as well as tents and outdoor stoves among other

things.

I am adaptable and have experience in human relations, time management,

various computer programs, office equipment as well as various vehicles and

machinery. My experience and educational background coupled with my

enthusiasm, interpersonal communication skills, and commitment to success

will be an asset to a company that is committed to professional excellence.

I look forward to making a commitment to an organization where

opportunities exist for professional growth.

I am also able to play a role as a Contractor to assist a company in

meeting the goals it has set for itself. I utilized this role by becoming

a "Home Health Aide" while I was waiting on my new role to be assessed and

confirmed in the United States fight for Freedom. I stepped into this role

and assisted a quadriplegic on a daily basis so that he was able to live at

home with his family. Now, that I am retired, I am back in this role on an

"as needed basis" with this family.

I have also spent years volunteering with young men mentoring them and

coaching them in the fundamentals of football. I worked to instill in them

the responsibility and discipline that it takes to be a law abiding,

successful young man in the world. I led by example. I showed them that

respect begets respect. I tried to instill in them the Golden Rule.

My experience living in the desert in a foreign country has provided me

with and enhanced various professional and personal skills. I know that in

times of war you need to be adaptable, patient, detail oriented, cautious,

trusting as well as trustworthy and able to live, work and play with people

of all cultures, backgrounds and personalities. I have found that the same

holds true in the corporate world.

If you are looking for an employee who is willing to learn, who is

trustworthy, and very career-committed with a drive to achieve total

success, then please consider what I have to offer. I would be happy to

have a preliminary discussion with you or members of your hiring staff to

see if we can establish a mutual interest.

Thank you for your attention to these materials. I certainly look

forward to exploring this further.

Yours truly,

Maurice E. James
