Dear Hiring Manager:
Your listing for management was brought to my attention by the website Indeed.
With minimal training needed you wouldn’t be disappointed in what I can bring to the business. You
would be getting someone with; four years of management experience in a fast pace, large restaurant
chain, and driven to lead not only to do what is best for the company but what is also best for the
employees and customers too.
An interview would be much appreciated. Thank you for giving me this amazing opportunity, and I look
forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely yours,
Ben Hackman
