Dear Janet:
By way of introduction, my name is Frank. I am applying for the opportunity identified as: “JANET’S SIDEKICK”, in this adventure to tour the planet. You have a well deserved reputation as a premier organizer specializing in the management of multi-family vacation excursions and jetting off to worldwide events like the Olympics, World Cup and safari. I would again like to be part of your team because the adventure never ends.
As both a duly licensed lawyer, licensed realtor, and soccer pitch sideline prowler for many years, I have dealt with the many tasks and issues that come up in life’s day-to -day management. I am seeking to apply my talents for your benefit and will endeavor to foster good side kick, and dare I say “Sherpa-like” duties, by meeting deadlines and resolving complaints and/or requests in a timely manner, and by implementing plans initiated by you or prescribed by the department of marital bliss. I would strive to help you achieve the goals set forth in the elaborate Excel format you have prepared.
As required, I am confident that I can work with transport and housing personnel, respond to your every request, monitor billing, coordinate insurance, interface with governmental agencies, and when needed direct third parties.
Thank you for reviewing my resume. I hope we can meet to further discuss our mutual needs. I look forward to hearing from you soon
Very Truly Yours,
Frank
