Mr. Douglas E. Dixon
World Cruise Lines RE: Air/Sea Cruise Product
867 Park Avenue South Development ad
New York, NY 09876 City Times 11/30/XX
Dear Mr. Dixon:
If you are searching for a creative thinker with extensive experience
selling to both companies and individuals, we should meet.
I am currently a Vice President in Sales and Marketing at The Ames
Company. I am eager to transfer my skills from manufacturing to the
travel industry.
-Through delightful cruises in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean,
and South America, I have become intimately familiar with the
many superb benefits that cruising offers individuals, groups, and
corporate planners.
-Through my travels in the Orient, Scandinavia, and Europe, I
know firsthand the perspective such exposure affords.
-Through my work with a diverse client base, I have become
extremely proficient in promoting high-ticket items by
identifying and focusing on the advantages they offer to each
member of a varied market.

Because I am currently seeking to broaden my horizons—literally and
figuratively—I await your reply so that we can arrange a personal
meeting. Then, we can discuss how my particular blend of capabilities,
experience, and managerial strengths can help your firm capture
lucrative business opportunities.
Very truly yours,

Darrell K. Grissolm
