Dear Hiring Manager,
My name is Preston Lee and I am interested in a position you may still have available. As a Line Lead and Material Handler with over 15 years’ experience, I know the importance of team work. I believe I can add value to your company and assist you in reaching your goals. I have a perfect safety record in operating heavy machinery, with zero dollars in controllable losses or damages. I have over 10,000 hours in experience driving reach trucks, cherry pickers, and sit down forklifts.
In recent years, I have studied Business Management and would welcome an opportunity to put my knowledge to good use. In my previous role as a Line Lead and Material Handler, I was also responsible for conducting inventory and daily safety checks. I am experienced in moving raw materials and finished goods, working with shipping manifests and bills of lading.
I have excellent people skills and treat others and their input with respect. Thank you for taking the time to read my letter and for considering me for the position. I’ve attached a copy of my resume to this letter for your review. Please feel free to contact me via phone or email. I also encourage you to reach out to any past supervisors for a reference, I have been a star employee at every company over the past 20 years. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Sincerely,
Preston Lee
