Dear Mr. Name

My solid experience as a project metrics analyst for two of Lockheed Martin contractors has allowed me to gain strong analytical skills that can be effectively utilized by your organization. After years of on the job training with minimal supervision in a time intensive environment, I am now prepared to move into project and program management.

With a master's in business administration and extensive technical skills I, can also offer:

Ability to work cross functionally as evident by skill sets in project analysis, human resource management, staff training, purchasing, and technical accounting.

An enterprising attitude resulting in the successful development of a fault profile metric report for a software development program, despite an unfamiliarity with the initial program.

Organizational and interpersonal capabilities that led to a profitable team effort between a software consultant and myself for the efficient conversion of a 3000 employee multi state payroll from ADP to in-house.

Additional capabilities are listed in the enclosed resume. In an effort to discuss the matter further, I will be calling your office within the next few days to see if we might set up a time to meet.

If you have any questions, I can be reached at the numbers listed above. Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,
SIGNATURE

Your Name
