To Whom It May Concern:

Thank you for considering my application. For the past 14 years of my career I have held the positions of Carpenter, Foreman and Superintendent, which allowed me the opportunity to closely interact with other Superintedents, Project Managers, District Managers and Store Managers as well. The skill sets I possess, as noted on my resume, which include the ability to manage and supervise large crews, operate related occupational equipment and communicate exceptionally with crew members and clients more than qualifies me to successfully and effectively fulfill the responsibilities of this position.

Please carefully review my resume and contact me for a follow up interview. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting you soon!

Sincerely,

Derrick Cofield
