Dear Ms. XXXXX,

I noticed the job listing on Monster.com for a Sales Manager for Premium AEROTEC. After several years of my working at Boeing, our section is being downsized and unfortunately our sales is a casualty of corporate restructuring. As I am passionate about the aeronautics industry and am currently a Master's degree candidate at the University of Washington in aeronautics engineering, I am uniquely suited to shine in this position and to help AEROTEC effectively build strong and lasting relationships with clients.

Working for almost seven years with Boeing and having an extensive background in the field of aeronautics and aviation engineering has prepared me to meet the special challenges of this position. I have exceeded sales goals several years in a row, and was called upon to deliver keynote addresses at company conferences twice because our team had performed so well.
