Dear Sir or Madam:

I will be completing my military service commitment shortly and I am contacting you to explore matching my diverse management and technical skills with opportunities in your organization.

As an experienced management professional, I have a broad range of talents that include multi-unit management, a proactive leadership style, and excellent team development/ management skills. My operations management has involved logistics, production management, quality control, inventory management, and training. I am a multi-talented manager who knows how to motivate a team of achievers and keep them focused on organizational objectives. Additionally, my skills in the areas of operational turnarounds and initiation of process improvement have helped me fine-tune the tools that will assist an organization such as yours.

I am a high achiever who generates enthusiasm through personal leadership, yet am willing and able to effectively delegate authority. My achievements in the areas of productivity improvements and team development would be excellent topics to be discussed in a personal interview. You may contact me at the above address and telephone number to make arrangements for such a meeting.
