Dear Mr. Manager:

I recently had a very long conversation with a current employee of yours. He had very
positive things to say about your company and the work environment. I am very interested in a
Project Manager position.
I have been told that your companys approach is far from mainstream and that you are
very busy. Your firm has grown fast in a short time and has a very good reputation as being fair
and ethical.

an assortment of experience in dealing one on one with architects and builders. I think outside
the box when it comes to budget analysis and have many relationships with various builders that
will be beneficial to your company.
I am very excited for this opportunity and will be available for an interview whenever you
desire.
I look forward to meeting you and putting a face to the name. I can be contacted at
