Covering Letter to a Company

Dear Ms Parnell

Due to a merger of two businesses in my present company, I am seeking a new challenge requiring leadership in hands-on business development of consumer products. My skills include:

• Business start-ups - participated in the start-up of four businesses that have annual compounded growth rates of 38%.
• Turnarounds - successfully restructured three business functions as part of a major reorganization.
• Planning - excelling at putting together and implementing short, medium and long-term strategic plans.
• Operations - managed planning, customer service, fulfilment, production and consulting departments.
• New product launches - more than 60 products generating $75 million in sales with 67% gross margins.

On the chance that you may have a need for a strong general manager in a fast-paced growth environment, I will be calling you in a few days with the hope of arranging a convenient time to meet.

Yours sincerely

Jim Sanderson
