Dear Mr. / Ms. Name:
I have been watching the rapid growth of Quality Construction Corporation over the last three years and have been impressed with the company’s strategic leadership. Your strategic positioning in the value-added segment of the market has put you ahead of your competition.
A company with your extraordinary success may be in need of a strong executive to contribute to your company’s growth. My credentials include an MBA in Business Administration and a B.S. in Finance from Rivier College and over 10 years’ experience in corporate planning and finance. This included two years as a Director of Corporate Finance and nearly four years as Director of Corporate Planning. I have a proven track record of success.
• Successful acquisition of two companies, doubling the company’s manufacturing capacity.
• Led company’s entry into the laminated board market, now most profitable segment of the business.
• Sale of company’s Compressed Board Division to Champion International Corporation.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss the contribution I could make to your organization. I will call you in a few days to follow up this letter and to determine a convenient time. Or, if you prefer, please feel free to call me at (phone).
Sincerely,
Your Name
