Dear Mr. Lang:

If you are aware of anyone who is searching for an experienced Sales Manager I would like the opportunity to present my skills to them. My past experience in the sales industry include positions with Western Life, Sony Electronics, and Luxottica to name a few. My current company is in the process of down sizing, and I feel that you may be able to help me in my search for a new position. Some of my recent accomplishments that may be of interest to your clients include:

• 2005 Sales Manager of the year at Western Life. In 2005 I helped to increase eastern region sales numbers by 212%. This was the greatest increase in any region, company wide.

A Master's Degree in Business Administration that helped to advance my career by providing me with the necessary educational groundwork to excel in the sales industry. Consistently received above average performance reviews during my 23 years in the sales industry.

I am looking for positions in the tri-state area of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia with a starting salary range of $80,000-$90,000. I would be willing to look at any position in the sales and marketing industry.

Also enclosed is my resume for your review. I would like to meet with you as soon as possible to discuss my situation and any openings that you may have. You can reach me via phone at 724-836-7076 or email at kahn@aol.com.

Thank you again for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to speaking with you in the near future.

Sincerely,

Jake Kahn
