Dear Mr. Dixon:

If you are searching for a creative thinker with extensive experience selling to both companies and individuals, we should meet.

I am currently a Vice President in Sales and Marketing at The Ames Company. I am eager to transfer my skills from manufacturing to the travel industry.

-- Through delightful cruises in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and South America, I have become intimately familiar with the many superb benefits that cruising offers individuals, groups, and corporate planners.

-- Through my travels in the Orient, Scandinavia, and Europe, I know first-hand the perspective such exposure affords.

-- Through my work with a diverse client base, I have become extremely proficient in promoting high-ticket items by identifying and focusing on the advantages they offer to each member of a varied market.

Because I am currently seeking to broaden my horizons -- literally and figuratively -- I await your reply so that we can arrange a personal meeting. Then, we can discuss how my particular blend of capabilities, experience, and managerial strengths can help your firm capture lucrative business opportunities.

Very truly yours,

Darrell K. Grissolm
