Mr. Clean:
I had a conversation with a colleague of yours the other day, Alyssa Jackson, and she said you were conducting a search for Aeronautical Drafters. You are in luck. I have worked as an Aeronautical Drafter for 12 years and I am currently looking for a new position.
I took six months off to spend time with my children while my husband completed his Ph.D. My previous employer would like to have me back, but I would like to meet with the relevant people at Drafters R’ Us before I make any decisions. Your company has a stellar reputation in the business for developing its employees. That is the kind of company I would like to work with.
I understand Drafters R’ Us recently landed a defense contract drafting missiles for the United States Air Force. The bulk of my work with my last employer involved similar projects. We drafted drawings of missiles, aircraft, and their various parts for all branches of the United States military.
Given my education and relevant work experience, I fully believe I am an excellent fit for Drafters R’ Us. I am in the process of interviewing and would love to come in and discuss my qualifications before the end of next week. My cell phone is the best way to reach me.
