Dear Mr. Jones:

I am seeking a senior-level management position in marketing with a consumer
products company. I have had more than twenty-five years of successful manage-
ment experience in one of the most competitive industries in the world.

In my most recent job as National Director of Marketing for Drake Beverage, I took
a $40 million brand from a $1.5 million loss to a $1 million profit in eighteen
months. Sales exceeded forecast by 12 percent in the most recent quarter.

I have a preference for the Northeast, but I will consider relocation to other areas
of the country. While the challenge of the job and opportunities for advancement
are my primary concerns, you should be aware that my compensation has been in
the $100,000–$105,000 range.

Please let me know if you are working on any searches requiring someone with
my qualifications. It would be a pleasure to discuss my background with you in
person, by email, or over the phone. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Tim Hester
