Mr. Kheelhauler XYZ Port 200 Maritime Academy Drive Vallejo, CA 94590

Dear Mr. Kheelhauler: I am writing to apply for the Senior Customer Relations Position at XYZ Port which was posted on LinkedIn Jobs. I am a graduate from the California State University Maritime Academy with a Bachelor of Science degree in International Business and Logistics. My prior work experience accompanied with my educational background has given me valuable skills that closely align with the requirements of this position. While working as a Customer Service Representative for the Port of Stockton, I handled customer complaints and outreach as well as researched the customers of competitor sister ports’ and presented this information to senior management. In doing so I was able to strengthen the relationships with the port’s current customers and also expand the number of customers for the port by 10%. Additionally, as a Receptionist for Sutter Health, I managed the phone calls, emails, billing and scheduling for approximately fifty clients weekly. This experience proved to me my ability to be flexible & efficient with customers’ needs and also made me proficient with various online programs such as: QuickBooks, Microsoft Office Suite, and Outlook Calendar. Given the opportunity, I know that I can add value to the XYZ Port. I have attached my resume for review, and please feel free to contact me via phone at (123) 456-7890 or email at golden.beard@csum.edu. Thank you so much for your time and I look forward to hearing from you in the future.

Sincerely,

Golden Beard
