SAMPLE COVER LETTER
February 19, 2008
Ms. Iris L’herrison
Vice President, Human Resources
Villa D’Este Restaurant Corporation
125522 Valley Road
Chagrin Falls, Ohio 44024
Dear Ms. L’herrison
Good morning my name is Mark Davidson and I am writing to you in reference to the position of Sr. Vice President, Marketing which I saw posted on job.travel™. Upon reading your corporate objective that states you are committed to opening an additional 100 restaurants in the next 18 months and the other requirements outlined, I felt compelled to write to you. I am very interested in working with Villa D’Este and assisting you in achieving your goal. As a senior executive I have extensive experience in identifying profitable new markets for expansion.
My previous employment history will bear out the fact that I am a detail-oriented individual based on my track record of success with Josef’s Restaurants where I was an instrumental part of the team responsible for the growth from 200 to 500 locations over a three year period. The result was an increase in sales revenue of $24.7 million annually. I pride myself on being self-motivated and my ability to develop new programs and see them through to completion. Having over ten years experience in marketing I have developed a great deal of flexibility in all aspects of the field. For example my extensive experience in public relations proved valuable in implementing a national campaign and programs to re-vamp the image of a large restaurant chain.
Ms. L’herrison, I am most anxious to be part of the Villa D’Este team and be a key member in this significant venture you are launching. Your corporate culture is exactly the type of environment where I can immediately contribute to your objectives. Of particular interest to me was the corporation’s commitment of supplying food products to all of the local shelters within each restaurants immediate area. I find this to be commendable and extraordinary in the fact that you do so without attempting to make it a media event.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for reading my letter. I will call you next week so that we can discuss my qualifications in more detail.
Very truly yours,
Mark Davidson
