Dear Ms. Miles:

　　I am a recent graduate from Boston University with a degree in International Relations. A number of real-world professional opportunities in the United States, the Middle East, and Europe have augmented my educational experiences. The combination has provided me with a realistic view of the demands and challenges faced in a global business economy.

　　I would welcome the chance to discuss opportunities with your firm. My leadership ability coupled with financial, management, and sales experience can be of real value to your company. I am equally comfortable working independently to meet company goals as well as collaboratively as part of a team. I have always been able to establish and maintain excellent relationships with clients and colleagues at all levels. My professional skills include:

　　•Financial and management consulting experience as an Intern with Sprint-Walker in London, England.

　　•Business development management with full P&L responsibility for a residential painting contractor.

　　•Group leadership responsibilities managing an overseas summer tour for students to the Middle East.

　　•Self-confidence to adapt to complex situations and solve problems gained through exposure to a diverse set of circumstances, languages, and cultures.

　　Please consider me a serious candidate for an international position with European Enterprises. I look forward to a personal meeting so that I can provide you with additional information to supplement what appears on my enclosed resume. Thank you.

　　Sincerely,

　　Jacob S. Williams
