LETTER 5-114: CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER—CONFIDENTIALITY
Ms. Dianne Williams, President
TWI International RE: Your ad for a CFO
850 North Delaware Avenue City Times, May 5, 20XX
Philadelphia, PA 09876

Dear Ms. Williams:
Yes, a Chief Financial Officer must be an expert in cash-flow planning
and management, financial accounting, the preparation of tax
statements, inventory pricing, contract negotiations, sales, and
profitability projections—and I am.
But the superior CFO has also produced the following results -- as I
have:
-Completely restructured business liability insurance to
reduce costs by 15% and increase coverage.
-Solicited, selected, and managed a major lending bank to
design cash-management sweep/credit link to maximize
overnight investment returns.
-Cultivated a reliable source of nonbank capital to discount
current accounts receivable to finance the acquisition of
additional inventory.

This is simply an overview of my most recent accomplishments. It
should demonstrate the commitment I make to cost control and
heightened return.
Yes, I am currently employed and would appreciate your confidentiality
when contacting me. But I will make myself available to meet at your
convenience.

Sincerely,

E. Darrell Brighton-Fisk
