LETTER 8-16: GENERAL—CREATE AN OPPORTUNITY

Mr. George J. Johnson
The Syntex Corporation
1201 Encenada Drive
Fullerton, CA 09876

Dear Mr. Johnson:
Three weeks ago, we had the opportunity to meet and discuss the
possibility of providing additional office support for your agents.
Since you were just beginning to explore this prospect at that time, I
realize it may be a while before you are ready to make a decision. For
this reason, I am writing to restate my interest and to recap my
qualifications.
My present position was a start-up position—one that was also new to
the company. In this role, I began by immediately assessing tasks that
needed to be fulfilled. I then created the position and my role to meet
the goals of the individual representatives most effectively, and the
corporation as a whole. This required initiative, the ability to organize
people and tasks, as well as the confidence to work in a new
environment and quickly achieve rapport with the executives and staff.
I can do the same for you.

I am excited by the challenge of creating a new position. Allow me to
use my expertise to make this position a meaningful, productive part of
your organization.
I am available to meet again to answer any additional questions you may
have.
Sincerely,

Susan Carroll
