Dear Ms. West, Simon Oxley of Brighton Manufacturing recommended that I get in touch with you about your company's current opening for a factory foreman. For the last three years, I have worked as manager of the second production shift for New Home Construction Company. This position has allowed me to develop my supervisory skills, and I have been recognized as "Manager of the Month" by the company president twice. Prior to my current position, I was a member of the public relations office at Modelko Inc., a small construction supply firm. While there, I was part of an effort that led to a 30% increase in sales for the company. I know that my work experience, combined with my motivational personality, would make me a valued member of your managerial team. I will call you sometime around October 10 to formally request an interview with you. If you desire any further information about my qualifications before that time, please don't hesitate to contact me. Gratefully yours, Alexander Freeman
