Dear Ms. Borden,

Parrot Communication's ground-breaking wireless communication devices are unparalleled in the industry. I am very interested in Parrot. I am currently seeking a position as a Sales Manager.

My background includes four years as a Sales Representative for a Fortune 500 telecommunications company, a degree in Engineering, and an MBA. I understand the technology and am able to effectively explain the products to laymen.

In my current position, I have exceeded my sales goal every month. I've trained 7 rookie representatives and created a online training program used company-wide.

I would enjoy meeting with you to share what I can bring to Parrot Communication. I will contact you in a week to discuss the possibility of such a meeting.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
