thinkers like me!

I can offer your firm with confidence. It is who I am. It has defined the
contributions I have made in every position I have held.
My resume, which is enclosed, begins to tell my story. A personal
meeting with you will supply vivid details. The references I’ll provide
will support them.

Please call me at (555) 456-7890 to schedule an interview. I promise
you won’t be disappointed.

Sincerely,

Name
