Re: Purchasing Manager Position

Dear Mr. Stagman,
I discovered your job posting in this week’s edition of the Roaring Retailer and am interested in applying for the position of purchasing manager.

As I’ve written in my enclosed resume, I have twelve years of profitable experience working as a senior purchasing manager. I enjoy a challenge and the opportunity to maximize revenues for the company I work for.

Some of my job highlights over the past few years include:

• Selecting the optimum vendors for the company’s needs
• Discovering global suppliers at significantly lower costs
• Finding reasonably priced substitutes of raw materials of equal or better quality than the original raw materials
• Synchronizing the team members and supply chain
• Bargaining with vendors and suppliers to obtain most favorable prices

I would like if we could arrange an in-person interview to discuss the position further and answer any questions you might have.

Please feel free to contact me at 999-777-5555 or at [your email address] so we can set up a mutually convenient time.

Cordially yours,
Julia Shopper
