Dear Carla,
I would like to apply for the position of Purchasing Manager as told by Laura Wilde who works as an Accounts Executive in your organization. I am confident that you will find my skills and qualifications relevant to the job requirements.
I joined Nellie Corporation nine years ago as a Purchasing Manager. A major fire broke out and the manufacturing unit was closed due to heavy losses. I lost my job but soon after I got an offer from Frederick Inc. to work for their production plant. Both these jobs allowed me to utilize my skills and learn new concepts that help in material testing and cutting production costs by purchasing from trusted vendors.
I am an excellent leader, communicator and a highly flexible individual who can easily adjust with changing environment and situations.
Please let me know if I am eligible for an interview by calling me on the telephone number 630-254-8197 or sending an e-mail on Leonardw@freemail.com. I thank you for your time with an expectation to get a prompt and positive response.
Sincerely yours,
Leonardo Werner

Dear Ms. Smith,
I read the Employment Journal and came to know about the requirement of Purchasing Manager in your organization. I would like to apply for this position as I feel that my experience in this profession will be useful for the growth of your organization.
My career as a Purchasing Manager began twelve years ago when I was recruited at Jameson Industries in Texas. After working there for five years, I moved to Carson and started working at Rosemary Corporation. During both these jobs, I have always been a very dedicated and honest employee. Knowing the fact that any delay in the production process may cause losses to the organization, I have always been on my toes to ensure that the necessary material and equipments are made available without any delay.
I have acquired technical skills and negotiation skills that help me to execute the purchasing part for the organization. I can also manage a large team of individuals and solve the most complex problems with much ease.
Please feel free to contact me for any information that you require. I would like to thank you and will be looking forward to receive a positive response from your end.
Sincerely yours,
Joseph Campbell
