To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to inquire more formally about the ‘Construction Project Manager’ position available at
your agency. I have looked over the job vacancy posting, and from the description of the work; it is exactly the
type of work I am looking to get more involved with. My education background and current work experience
have developed the practical skills and technical perspectives necessary to succeed in such a role. I have
previously worked in an engineering design, construction and project management capacity on several New
York City Capital Projects covering different stages from design inception all the way to substantial completion
and project closeout.
Please feel free to contact me if you have additional questions. I look forward to talking more soon and
thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Royce Brown
