Dear Mr. Long:

A friend, Beth Gill, recently informed me about the opening in your marketing
department and suggested that I email you directly. I would like to be consid-
ered for the position of Marketing Manager.

As the attached resume indicates, since graduating from the University of South
Carolina, I have spent my career marketing consumer goods products. In each
company I have been responsible for purchasing marketing research and devel-
oping strategic marketing initiatives. Most recently, I have commissioned stud-
ies of both the U.S. retail markets and the bulk commodity goods industry.

Based on my background in marketing and marketing research, I believe I have
the capabilities you are looking for. I would like to explore this opportunity more
completely in a personal interview. I look forward to hearing from you at your
convenience.

Sincerely,

Amir Singh
