Dear Ms. Doe:

I am writing in response to the Production Superintendent opening you posted on monster. com on November 21.

Enclosed is my resume highlighting twelve years of experience as a Production Superintendent, closely matching the requirements in your listing.

My accomplishments as Superintendent with 18 line workers at XYZ Inc. indicate my ability to motivate and supervise. In my first year, production increased 15% as a result of improvements I made to the production process. I am confident my experience and technical background would contribute to your growing company.

I would like to meet with you to discuss how my capabilities can fit the needs of ABC Corporation. I will follow up by calling you next week, and look forward to talking with you then.

Sincerely,

Joe Smith
