Dear Hiring Manager:

Please find attached a copy of my resume in response to your ad for a Regional Vice President. In 2009 I left my position as a Regional Vice President with Colonial Properties Trust in Charlotte, NC to return to my home in Austin, where I recently completed my MBA. I am currently a Senior Property Manager with Riverstone Residential, however I am eager to return to a position with additional responsibilities.

As my resume details, I have extensive experience in Property Management in managing single as well as multiple sites. You will find I am a committed, hard-working individual with solid experience in effectively managing people and dealing with the daily challenges of Property Management.

I would welcome the opportunity to further discuss my qualifications with you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Christine Donegan
