Property Manager
Ballantyne Village
114 Ballantyne Village Way, Suite 145
Charlotte, NC 28204
Dear Ms. Bruner:
I am applying for the Marketing and Events Coordinator position advertised at Davidson
College. Carey Thornburg, a former classmate of your son, referred me to this
opportunity. I am excited about the opportunity to work with multiple constituents,
including the media, tenants and retail clients, to promote your innovative, upscale
shopping destination to the Charlotte community.
I would bring to Ballantyne Village a professional background in customer service entailing
prompt problem solving for clients ranging from senior executives to technicians to upscale
retail shoppers. I have a particular passion for planning events, which have spanned
small, team-building gatherings to a larger charitable fundraiser that exceeded its goal by
almost 20%. All utilize my extensive communications, creative and organizational skills. I
have honed my ability to publicize through print and online means, including designing
invitations and creating a website honoring a celebrated town citizen. A motivated self-
starter, I have demonstrated success in pioneering a new job, completing technical training
in half of the expected time, performing at a professional level within weeks of joining a
company, and working independently while also conscientiously working within a team.
Attached you will find my résumé, which illustrates my qualifications for this position. I am
eager to meet with you and discuss how I might best contribute to Ballantyne Village. I will
contact you next week to be sure that you have received my application. Thank you in
advance for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Madeleine David
