Dear Ms. Cook,
I recently came to know of your impending retirement and hope this will mean some much-needed R&R for you and your wife.
Although I don't know what succession plans you may have, I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know of my interest in the position of Director of Johnson Park Mortuary. I am therefore enclosing my resume for your review.
I have worked at Carleton Funeral Home for a decade and have established a good reputation in the community. In fact, our business has increased by 33% over the past 5 years. However, I have always been attracted to the beauty of the Johnson Park location and would like the challenge of directing a larger operation.
Please let me know if you have already selected a successor or if we might meet to talk about the position.
Sincerely,
Martha Kingman
