To Whom It May Concern:
I suspect you’ll find very few candidates with a background such as mine and it’s one I’d like to put to work on your behalf.
As you’ll see on my resume, the depth of my experience in maintenance offers you the opportunity to hire a real pro who needs little or no training and who is comfortable with many different areas of repairs and construction.
A personal interview would allow me to demonstrate my talents. I look forward to hearing from you so that we can schedule a meeting.
Sincerely,
Richard A. Chastain
