Dear Hennery smith,
I am writing to express my interest in the position of Sales Representative which has been posted in the April 7, 2011 issue of JobFinds magazine.
Let me start off by saying that I am not new to this field. In fact, I worked as a Sales Representative for a leading pharmaceutical company for three years before deciding to take a break after my first child was born. During that time, I was one of the leaders of my group in terms of sales revenue and have received a number of awards. Now that I am ready to return to the industry, I am confident that I will be able to bring my sales skills to the table and contribute substantially to your company.
Attached is a copy of my resume. While it is quite comprehensive, I am looking forward to actually speaking with you in person, so that I may get to know more about the company as well as answer any questions you may have about my qualifications. Thank you very much for your time.
Sincerely,
Hannapao
