Dear Hiring Manager:

Thank you for your time. I hope that you find, upon meeting me, that in addition to my drive and success as a business owner, my experience makes me a great addition to your company. I spent the last 42 years as the owner/operator of the Coin-Tainer Company. Having built the company from the ground up from the basement of my home as a young father of three, and growing it into the world’s largest coin-wrapper company worldwide, I gained a wide range of industry knowledge and experience that I believe equips me to drive the success of your company. Some relevant examples of my skills and accomplishments include the following:

• Innovating the design of age-old traditional products to create new markets, including “coin- wrappers in a bag” and “easy-open” wrapper pull tabs

• Created entire new category at retail (“home/office for cash handlers”)

• For 35 years, never had products removed from any retailer’s shelves due to lack of sales or low supply chain

• Maintained 98% scorecards at world’s largest retailers

• Navigation of growth challenges

• Adapting to ever-changing retail speed of business requirements

• Developed manufacturing processes to combat pricing pressures from major customers (“bigger, better, faster”)

My proven determination, ability to adapt to changing customer/industry needs, and innovative creative problem solving skills make me confident that I would be able to hit the ground running in any position for which I am a good fit at your company. Thank you for your consideration; I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Sincerely,

Dave Walters
