Here is my letter :


Dear Sir,

I would like to submit my application at the procurement / marketing department of your company.

Thanks to a specific professional and academic background, I specialized in procurement and Marketing after an Engineering degree. My affinity with negotiations and marketing issues, along with my technical background will allow me to quickly adapt your purpose and be efficient to your company.

Following a first work experience in Marketing at a project management company in Johannesburg, I decided to specialize in purchasing to be able to work as a commercial and business engineer. At Ingerop Africa (Johannesburg), I have been given the possibility to demonstrate my innovative thinking by designing a global information network which efficiently improved communication among project engineers. Thanks to my high degree of motivation and several relevant communication analysis and reports, I have been promoted to expand tender offers market, customers and prospects numbers.

Thereafter, I worked in communication space purchasing (6 Millions €) and Media planning at Peugeot in Portugal, for a 21 months fixed-term contract. I have demonstrated my strategic ability through successful advertising campaigns and launches of new vehicles in the Portuguese automotive market. Financially oriented, I optimized company investments, being able to reach the best market awareness results of the year, for two different launching campaigns(*). Thanks to efficient commercial negotiations with TV Channel and Press directors or Media Group managers, I improved brand image and awareness, with a 10 percent decreased budget.

Thanks to a specific professional and academic background, I have a global approach in Procurement / Marketing and Technical issues (Engineering). My overseas work experiences allowed me to be fluent in French, English and Portuguese which will help me adapt a multicultural environment in South Africa. I am fully available for a work trial to insure you that my application is all the more reliable than I already worked in South Africa. Enclosed is a copy of my resume.


Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
