LETTER 5-50: DIRECTOR—RETAIL OPERATIONS

Mr. Lionel Adams, President
Surplus Warehouse, Inc.
230 Crossways Boulevard
Tulsa, OK 09876

Dear Mr. Adams:
As Vice President of Retail Operations for a
nationwide office supply chain, I reduced operating
expenditures by more than $2 million last year. I
further developed tightened security measures
accounting for a 50% reduction in losses due to
employee and customer theft.

Proven results such as these are critical to
your firm’s ongoing profitability -- and they are
precisely what I can bring to Surplus Warehouse.
Having engineered the planning and launch of 54
retail locations across the country, which generated
an additional $350 million in sales, I can direct
your company in its ongoing expansion efforts with
ease and expertise.
These are only two chapters in a career story that
spans 24 years in retailing. Additional successes,
innovations, and cost-saving stories are detailed on
the enclosed resume.
Let’s get together so that I can demonstrate the
advantages that my experience can offer Surplus Warehouse.

Sincerely,

H. Michael Gorman, III
