Attn: John Smith, Human Resources

Re: Director of Client Financial Services

Cambridge Children's Hospital

P. O. Box 5555

Philadelphia, PAZ 19001

Dear Mr. John Smith:

I was very interested to see your advertisement for a Director of Client Financial Services in the

Philadelphia Observer (8-11-01). I have been seeking just such an opportunity as this, and I think my

background and your requirements may be a good match. My resume is enclosed for your review.

Of particular note for you and the team members as you consider this placement are my strong

accomplishments in reducing outstanding balances and reorganizing accounting functions to achieve

improved internal operating efficiency and improved cash flow throughout.

Consider the following:

Reduced A/R days from 110 to 58.9.

Reduced staff by 7.5 FTEs with concurrent increase in total departmental performance.

Reduced patients complaints

Improved cash flow by $2.3 million monthly.

Additionally, my contributions have been achieved through improved information flow within the patient

financial services function, improving patient financial services utilization of available MIS services, and

improving cooperation between patient services and the admissions desk, UR and medical records

functions.

After 10 years in client accounting, I have a varied understanding of every department concerned with

this function in a modern medical center setting. My current employer is delighted with my performance,

but I view myself as a troubleshooter as well, and most of the reorganizations initiated here have come to

fruition, so I am eager to consider new ventures and challenges.

If you are seeking a manager who stays abreast of her field, who is technically informed, who earns major

staff support, and who is committed to achieve total success, please consider what I have to offer.

Thank you for your attention to these materials. I certainly look forward to exploring this further.

Yours truly,

fine-tuned through hands-on experience. For the past nine years, I have been using my business talents to help small

business owners with marketing, labor issues, and legislative affairs.

As you will notice in the enclosed résumé, I have an extensive business development, marketing, and advertising

background. I am currently the director of a destination marketing organization located in Manitou Springs. The

advertising agency I operate provides media buying services, printing, creative services, and marketing research

programs. The Internet service provider program I started has led to the development of a web site with more than 5

million visitors in 1997,and the traffic is growing. From 1998 to date, the site has had nearly 8 million visitors. Nearly

$500,000 in sales was attributed to the web site 1997. We tracked a $115 ROI for every dollar spent by our clients since

1994.

My diverse business experience has helped me develop strong skills in verbal presentations, meeting planning, financial

management, community relations, data analysis, and special events. As with all successful small businesspeople, I can be

"the chief cook and bottle washer."

I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my skills would benefit your organization. You can reach me to schedule

a personal interview by calling after 6:30 PM or by e-mail. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Thank

you for your consideration.

Best Regards,

James Littler

While attending an ASID seminar in St. Louis last week, I learned that your firm may be hiring an additional designer to

assist with residential design projects. I am writing to inquire further about this potential position.

I am currently enrolled as an Interior Design student in the department of environmental design at the University of

rendering, and am comfortable making presentations. In addition, I place a high priority on client/user involvement and

the application of behavioral designs in the design process, a quality which could make me a valuable addition to your

firm.

I am impressed by the reputation of your firm and feel confident that my qualifications would enable me to perform the

job well. I am excited about the opportunity for growth and learning which would be afforded me by working with your

team of design professionals, and believe that I possess unique qualities which would enhance the team. I would

Dear Mr. Boyes:

I am writing to you because your company may be in need of someone with my financial and business experience. Here

are some of the things I've recently accomplished:

— As Chief Financial Officer of a major, regional wholesale distribution company, I reduced excess inventory by

$2.9M. However, customer service was improved to 92% and turnover to 8.0 turns for stock goods. This

inventory disposition reduced interest expense by $650K over a five-year period.

— Implemented freight cost analysis to identify negative impact of absorbed costs on profitability. The company

is now realizing annual savings of $180K.

— Solicited, negotiated and managed insurance risk programs to reduce annual expense by $40K. Loss control

programs improved worker's compensation experience ratio from 1.61 to 1.00 in five years.

— Reduced personnel within my areas of responsibility while expanding both capabilities and productivity.

Absorbed functions from other departments during this period.

— Improved quality of receivables, decreased bad debt expense and added new techniques for collection and

protecting monies owed. Re-staffed department. Reduced DSO by nine days, stabilized monthly collection

percentage at 63%-65% level, and improved past due balances to less than 10% of receivables.

If you feel that your company is in need of someone with my background, I would enjoy talking with you about

opportunities.

Dear Mr. Fowler,

Jane Smith of Mark Associates Advertising, suggested I contact you regarding the possible public relations opening in

your firm.

As an editor/writer for New York's city magazine, I've developed my talent and experience as a public relations writer.

Because the staff is very small, I've worn a number of hats, including: developing the editorial format and individual story

concepts, writing numerous articles, editing copy, laying out the magazine, and supervising production.

Prior to my current position, I was highly involved in the public relations industry, working for Jones & Jones, where I

prepared numerous press releases and media guides, as well as managing several major direct mail campaigns.

My high degree of motivation has been recognized by my previous employers who have quickly promoted me to positions

of greater responsibility. I was promoted from assistant editor to editor of New York Monthly after only five months.

I am eager to talk with you about the contribution I could make to your firm. I will call you the week of April 12th to see

if we can find a mutual time and date to get together and discuss the possibility.

Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

It was nice to meet with you at the alumni luncheon last Monday. If you recall, at the time you offered your assistance in

During the past three years, I have been employed as a staff accountant with a major corporation with responsibility for

maintaining financial statements and monthly closing, and preparing financial reports using Excel. During the prior five

years, while attending college, I held positions of increasing responsibility in areas ranging from auditing to accounts

payable in corporate and nonprofit environments.

These positions have been fast-paced and challenging, and the experience I gained is broad in scope. However, to further

my career in accounting and finance, I am investigating new opportunities where I can apply my experience to benefit a

company that offers room for advancement based on personal preference.

Should you know of any corporation in need of an experienced accountant, please do not hesitate to forward the attached

resume.

I appreciate your time.

Dear Mr. Bland:

Through the University of Pennsylvania Career Services office, I learned about Exxon Oil Company's present career

opportunities. As a senior at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, I am interested in securing the

position of Marketing Associate.

Currently, I am engaged in a marketing consulting project with the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. The project involves

conducting research on foreign currency options and formulating a marketing strategy and target market position for the

Stock Exchange's Foreign Currency Options service.

With my solid background in marketing, I have completed many projects in this area. One of the more significant projects

was an in-depth consumer behavior study on day-care centers. The research results were based in questionnaire response

and computer-assisted statistical analysis. In addition, I am an Account Executive for the international organization

AIESEC. AIESEC's central program is the Traineeship Exchange in which companies employ foreign business students to

participate in the regular operations of the firm. As an Account Executive, I meet individually with top executives from

the Greater Philadelphia business community and market the benefits of the AIESEC Traineeship Exchange program. I

am also fluent in Spanish and Portuguese and hope to incorporate these language skills in my future employment.

I am aware that you will be interviewing at the University of Pennsylvania on December 5, 2002. My schedule is flexible

Dear Ms. Connors:

It was my pleasure to meet you at John Smith's graduation and I appreciate your forwarding my resume to the Corporate

Finance Division of your firm. As a recent graduate from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania,

concentrating in Finance, I am actively seeking a position in Financial Analysis.

A position as an analyst is a logical sequel to my academic training. As an undergraduate, a substantial portion of my

curriculum emphasized case analysis in terms of company financing and expansion. For example, when investigating a

case for the American Drug Company, which was considering investment in Colombia, I analyzed the factors associated

with financing operations in dollars versus currency of the host country. My analysis included currency risk and credit

risk, as well as liquidity risk.

Another personal interest involves the commodities futures market. I feel confident in my knowledge of the cocoa market

in particular, as a project of mine required that I take a hypothetical stand in the market and carefully monitor my position.

For me, a career in investment banking is a means of exposure to the business community, as well as to financial and

strategic decision making. My academic foundation in business and finance, as well as my drive towards exploring

financial analysis and planning, would make me an enthusiastic employee with ZFY Company.

I look forward to having an opportunity to discuss my qualifications and your professional needs concerning a position

with your firm. During the week of January 15, 2002 I will be in touch with you to determine a time which is convenient

experience for the responsibilities of a Vice-Principal. I am completing my fourth year as a Senior Secondary Geography

teacher in the Davis Area Public Schools in Oakland, CA. During this time I have been the acting president and secretary

of the Oakland branch of the American Geographic Society. During the summer months from 1996-2000 I helped

America on special field trips and projects for the Society. A particular highlight during these four years was taking 20

high school students, and 10 visiting seismic researchers and university students to visit the San Andreas Fault in

California.

I graduated from the University of California with a Bachelor's of Education in Secondary Science in 1991 and in 1990 I

graduated with honors from the University of Davis, geography major. While at university and then following in my

Dear Ms. Rolph,

I am writing in response to your Outside Sales position, as advertised in the Union Tribune on March 18th.

Although I have spent the last five years as a scientific research analyst with the University of California’s Hospital

and devices (as a user for the past five years), I believe that I am in the unique position to help Joe’s in its sales efforts.

My work experience to date has provided me with the tools I need to be successful in sales. I am highly organized, have

strong communications skills and am a persuasive person. I also work well independently, a trait I know would make me

successful as an outside sales person for your Company.

I have enclosed my resume for your review. Please contact me at your earliest convenience, so that we can set up an

interview to discuss my qualifications further.

Best Regards,

James Littler

As my resume reveals, the majority of my retail management experience has been on a part-time basis. At this point in

my career, I am ready to apply acquired skills to a long-term, more permanent association. As an employee of Gap, I

would extend every effort to increase sales and promotions, and assure smooth store operations.

Mr. Harry Smith

Smith & Strong

P. O. Box 2147

Denver, Colorado 80302

Dear Harry,

I was interested to hear that your firm is considering ways to acquire more capability regarding international business

transactions.

As you know, I have worked as an independent consultant these past two years dealing with the business, financial and

governmental problems that accompany overseas investments. I have found, however, that companies large enough to

have significant international exposure are bombarded by major league players such as:

a) the large investment banking houses,

b) major law firms,

c) consulting firms such as McKinsey and Arthur D. Little,

d) and, increasingly, by the consulting units operating within the major accounting firms.

It has become pretty clear that marketing my "Lone Ranger Act" in the face of this kind of competition is, at best, a

difficult job. For the past few months I've been investigating ways to merge my talents into a better known and more

broadly based entity. If you are looking for additional arrows to round out Holland and Hart's quiver of talent, then

perhaps we should do some talking.

The many hi-tech firms in the Front Range area are beginning to push into the international arena, and you mentioned that

you have already taken steps to strengthen your intellectual property team. These hi-tech groups often face significant

trade issues in Washington as well as complex government and financial negotiations abroad.

There are many other exporters in this area--such as the U.S. Meat Exporter Federation (composed of entities such as

Monfort)--that are large enough to have real international needs as well.

Some of your "competition" has already mounted a campaign to try to serve these needs--see the attached flyer on "Going

International."

The clipping from the Wall Street Journal of October 16, 19-- shows what firms such as Stearns Roger and Morrison-

Knudsen are up against internationally. I've marked the clipping to show how the things we did for Cuajone parallel what

Bechtel is doing now.

The resume information attached after the clippings just mentioned is probably a bit on the over-kill side, but lawyers love

to read and it does demonstrate the extent and depth of my international experience.

I expect to travel back east the 6th and 7th of November to talk to Price Waterhouse's new affiliate partnership that deals

in "International Financing Consultancy Services," but will be here Monday, November 5.

Dear Ms. Long,

Thank you for the time you spent with me last week discussing the senior data analyst position at Sun, Inc. It sounds like

you have a growing department and a great staff.

As we discussed, I have also been interviewing for other data analyst positions on the West Coast. Yesterday, I was

offered an excellent opportunity at Oracle, which would not require me to relocate my family. Although I am confident

that I would have enjoyed working with you and your team, I must withdraw my name from consideration.

Again, thank you for the opportunity to interview. I wish you good luck with your job search.

Regards,

James Littler

Subject: Seasoned Sales Rep With MBA Ideal for Regional Sales Manager (mtt-01/3439)

To: [email protected]

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Dear Mr. Hent,

Having broken sales records and exceeded sales quotas in all my previous positions and recently completed my MBA in

marketing from the Stern School of Managerial Leadership at Florida State University, I am an ideal candidate for the

regional sales manager position at Marriott Vacation Club International.

As the leading sales representative for Disney Vacation Club, I developed key sales material, trained new sales reps, and

reinvented the way club memberships are sold. My team's revenue was more than double the average for the entire

operation.

The vacation club industry is a dynamic and growing industry, and I am convinced I can help Marriott grow its reputation

and dominant position in the industry.

We should meet to discuss the position. I will contact you in the next 10 days to arrange an interview. Should you have

any questions before that time, please feel free to call me at 904-555-2341 or email me. Thank you for your time and

consideration.

Cordially,
