Mr. Josh Valmer III.

Employment Manager

Loveland Ski Operations

PO Box 899

Georgetown, CO 80444

Loveland, CO 80443

Dear Mr. Valmer:

As an admirer of Joshua Valmer Sr., I watched several years ago when Rocky Mountain Ski and Sports

opened a store in my hometown. I was intrigued by the wonders of mass distribution, discount prices,

and retail innovation. I read in last week’s edition of Sports Retail that one of your subsidiaries, Loveland

Retail, is looking to grow beyond the 200 retail stores it currently operates in the Northeast. My human

resource approach can help your company make sound strategic personnel decisions as you expand into

the Midwest region. Your advertised position as Human Resources Manager fits perfectly with my

background and experience.

For the past six years, I held increasingly responsible positions in the human resources profession. I

began my career as an Assistant Store Manager at Sports World, a large sporting goods store, and was

promoted to Manager after 18 months. Three years ago, I accepted a position as Director of HR for

Cysco, another rapidly growing distributor of food products supplying large restaurant chains. At both

Sports World and Cysco, I served as an HR Generalist and am very familiar with all aspects of personnel

functions including: recruiting, staff planning, professional development training, working with unions,

employee relations and enhancement programs as well as salary and benefits programs.

I am very enthusiastic about having an opportunity to discuss your management team’s plans

for the future, and the Human Resources department’s role in making these goals a reality. I

will call you the week of September 16th to confirm the receipt of my résumé and schedule a mutually

convenient time for us to get together. Thank you for your consideration and time.

Sincerely Yours,

Bethany E. Roberts
