Example Cover Letter to a Company

Dear Mr Brown

Due to a merger of two businesses in my present company, I am seeking a new challenge requiring leadership in hands-on business development of consumer products. My skills include:

• Planning — excelling at putting together and implementing short, medium and long-term strategic plans.
• Business start-ups — participated in the start-up of three businesses that have annual compounded growth rates of 35%.
• New product launches — more than 75 products generating £30 million in sales with 78% gross margins.
• Turnarounds — successfully restructured four business functions as part of a major reorganisation.
• Operations — managed planning, customer service, fulfilment, production and consulting departments.

On the chance that you may have a need for a strong general manager in a fast-paced growth environment, I will be calling you in a few days with the hope of arranging a convenient time to meet.

Yours sincerely

Lucy Peterson (Ms)
