Dear Mr Starford

Due to a merger of two businesses in my present company, I am seeking a new challenge requiring leadership in hands-on business development of consumer products. My skills include:

* Business start-ups - participated in the start-up of three businesses that have annual compounded growth rates of 38%.
* Planning - excelling at putting together and implementing short, medium and long-term strategic plans.
* New product launches - more than 60 products generating £28 million in sales with 72% gross margins.
* Operations - managed planning, customer service, fulfilment, production and consulting departments.
* Turnarounds - successfully restructured three business functions as part of a major reorganisation.

On the chance that you may have a need for a strong general manager in a fast-paced growth environment, I will be calling you in a few days with the hope of arranging a convenient time to meet.

Yours sincerely

William Brooks
