Attached is a copy of my cover letter I used for the sales team.

We met on Friday. We discussed what direction we need to be moving in. I think that our group is on the same page with everything so far. I think that we should write an outline a little bit more in detail of the contents of the white paper. From there we will be able to better divide the work up. This is important because people have different writing styles, and the paper will flow much better if we stick to our specific sections. Finally we talked about adding graphics to every page so that the paper flows and the reader isn’t over whelmed by large amounts of text.

For the sales team we decided it would be best to use Dreamweaver. The Knight Co. decided that they wanted to take their company to the next level and move to internet sales. We must research the competition in the industry because we have to know what other companies are doing and what they are offering. Also, we need to research what information is going to be put on the website, and how the site is going to be structured overall. In doing this, we will be visiting other similar companies websites to get a feel of the competition.

Sorry it is so late I was in Chicago for the last two days and have been sick. I am just starting to feel better. I just wanted to state that this is no reflection on my work ethic or performance for this group project. Thank you for understanding, and know that I am committed to this project.

Attached is a copy of my resume.

The two resumes I have chosen are resumes one and three. I chose resume one because I felt that it was an example of a good resume. The first think that I noticed was a good use of white space. The contrast between the writing and white space is very appealing to the eye. Also, I liked the font that they chose because it is simple and classic. I feel that it goes with the flow of the rest of the resume. The descriptions of the work experience is also good because they keep it short and to the point, for example all of the job tasks were only one sentence and one line long.
