LETTER 5-52: SENIOR SUBCONTRACTS ADMINISTRATOR—CONFIDENTIALITY
Ms. Amelia Trost
Director, Human Resources
Grenville Manufacturing, Inc.
86 Harding Way
Burlington, NJ 09876
RE: City Times, 7/19/XX ad for
Senior Subcontracts Administrator
Dear Ms. Trost:
The position described in your advertisement is the job I have been
preparing for throughout my career.
-Having worked as both an assistant procurement manager
and a subcontracts administrator for a major equipment
manufacturer, I have mastered the tactics required to select,
bid out, negotiate with, and manage independent vendors
successfully.
-From my first day on the job, I will skillfully evaluate
proposals, analyze risks, conduct contract negotiations, and
perform cost analyses for you.

-I have handled in excess of 300 individual purchase orders
simultaneously—some worth over $100 million each.

-Most importantly, I have negotiated savings of up to 30% on
new procurements.

As the enclosed resume attests, my experience is proven, the
results measurable and substantial.

I would like to meet with you to further demonstrate my abilities.
Please contact me at home at (555) 765-4321 as my current
employer is not aware of my desire to join another company.
Sincerely,

Lisa Quimby
