Attn: Personnel Recruiter

This letter is to introduce myself to you and your organization while applying for a position
where my Secretarial, Word Processing, DTP and Personal Computer skills may be of use to
your firm.

I have attached my resume, which lists qualifications and experiences. I have perfected
these during the past 20+ years. I bring with these qualifications and experiences a
motivation and drive to ensure a job done well, relishing in my own personal satisfaction for
seeing that job to its completion above and beyond expected outcomes.

When employers request a resume, there are several standard formats, which are adhered
to. To express its meaning more precisely and effectively, I expend great effort to remind
myself of a theorem learned: “A few paragraphs of dates, places and duties are never
enough to gauge the cumulative knowledge absorbed, lifetime of memories, along with
previous employment opportunities and personal experiences used to form, shape, and mold
that individual.” Once applied, this principle reduces all questions to the initial basic query:
“Is this person going to be a benefit to my company?” This question can only be determined
in a personal face-to-face interview. I will rely upon your perceptions and impressions to
answer that question. I am confident we will both profit from this process.

Please contact me at either the home address, e-mail address or the “live-voice” number
above and know I thank you in advance for your most gracious considerations.

Respectfully,

Timothy D. Latimer
