To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing in response to your advertisement of the position you have vacant in your department. Based on the requirements listed in your ad, I trust that my years of experience in this field and the certifications I hold, the both of us would benefit with us working together. My previous position allowed me to use this oppurtunity as a catalyst towards my career in Facility Maintenance.
At this time I am not employed due to my past employer (Gilbarco/Veeder-Root) has merged with their parent company in Greensboro, North Carolina. This will allow me to join your company with your needs being formost important. I feel that I would be a great asset to your Department.
I have included a copy of my resume for your assessment. I would like to set a time, that is convenient for you, to discuss how my ablilities are consistent with your needs.
Sincerely,
David E. Sherrill
