LETTER 5-68: SENIOR ARCHITECT—RELOCATION
Mr. Roger Rossi, President
Rossi Associates
Suite 300
4901 Andrews Road
Seattle, WA 09876

Dear Mr. Rossi:
I am responding to your advertisement for a Senior Architect for two reasons.
First, I can deliver precisely the attributes, experience, and background you
seek in a senior architect. As you’ll see on the enclosed resume, I have a
strong background in commercial interiors and retail design, honed through 12
years with a major New York-based commercial firm.
In my current position, I assume all of the responsibilities typically demanded
of a Senior Architect, including:

-Preparation of architectural plans, drawings, and specifications
-Construction and contract administration
-Review of design, code, and construction drawings
-Supervision of construction contractors, contract administration

-Project management through all project phases including programming,
planning, design, and construction contract administration
My conceptual abilities are outstanding, my approach consistently team oriented,
and I am an AutoCAD wizard! I earned my B.A. in Architectural Design from the
State University Design School. These strengths, along with my clear
knowledge of building architectural systems, construction procedures, and
practices will allow me to add value to your firm at once.

Secondly, I will be relocating to the Seattle area (and am in the process of
obtaining Washington State Licensure). It would be a privilege to meet with you
personally to discuss the opportunity to add to your team. I will follow up by
calling you soon to schedule an appointment.
Sincerely,

Lynn Beacon
