Hi,
I'm writing to apply for the Sales Position in your pet business. My
unique life experience and love for puppies and kittens are well
suited to working in a high end pet placement service. In addition to
the excellent sales skills I developed in the bicycling industry, I
have experience selling unique and expensive artworks to international
luxury cruise passengers. I have experience with upscale clientele in
several fields and have a bottom line orientation and a sense of
service that connects exceedingly well with New York's prestigious
elite.

As you can see from my resumé, I have spent the past 4 years as a
professional saxophonist. I have been fortunate to play in world-
class ensembles, with which I traveled to more than 10 different
countries and saw some of the planet's most awe-inspiring natural
beauty. This has allowed me to interact with people of many nations
in professional situations, and develop humility and succinctness in
communication that is a huge asset to my work in high-end retailing.

I look forward to meeting the pets you have on offer, and to speaking
with you soon!

Cheers,
Michael Flanagan
