Dear Hiring Professionals
Director of Distribution Operations
Integrated Supply Network, LLC
1111 Industrial Ave.
Seattle, WA
Re: Distribution Manager Job, as advertised on Monster (Job Posting)
Dear Hiring Professionals:
I was pleasantly surprised when I stumbled upon your job posting on Monster. Ive been looking for a job
opening as a warehouse manager, and Im sure that I could impact and contribute to your company in a
more-than-positive way. I was recently promoted to warehouse manager at the company, RealTech, and
Ive been working in their large 25,000-square-foot distribution center for a little over a year now. Ive been
quite successful and have received many commendations for improving productivity, boosting safety
numbers, and increasing efficiency on the floor.
Your warehouse operation would benefit from my success and skills in:

Implementing 5S as well as other lean-manufacturing programs that help to elevate both

effectiveness and efficiency in the distribution sector of the warehouse.

Creating, implementing, and leading training programs that increase employee

productivity, workplace morale, and job satisfaction.

Overseeing inventory management and ensuring maximal optimization and order processing

for high-volume shipping and receiving operations.

Accelerated order fulfillment to achieve a greater-than 25% reduction in order-processing time.
Upgrading SAP warehouse management systems to help improve inventory management

procedures and increase distribution accuracy.

Supervising and scheduling unionized workforces of as many as 18 employees per shift,
within a 24x7 work environment.

I recently found out that my current employer, RealTech, plans on closing down its Seattle distribution
warehouse, to relocate to Silicon Valley. While I was offered a position as a warehouse manager, I didnt
see it fit, being that I have obligations here in Seattle.
If you are in agreement that I have the necessary skills and qualifications to complete the requirements
you have set forth, please contact me at (123) 456-7890 or visit my online portfolio to schedule an
interview. I appreciate you taking the time to review this and considering me for the position, and I look
forward to hearing back from you about this opportunity.
Sincerely yours,

Freeman 1
