Subject: Application for position of Forklift Driver

I was referred to you by a very good friend for the position of Forklift Driver at Dfp Recruitment.  I’d  be an excellent fit for this position, as I have the solid experience, license, and skills to operate a forklift in this type of environment. I have included my resume with this cover letter.

I have been a Forklift Driver for the past 11 year years at Mainfreight & Toll and in that time, have improved my endurance, ability to work fast and accurately, and break records for production and efficiency. I always take my position and responsibilities with the utmost of seriousness, and thus, always follow safety procedure and operational excellence. I also hold a license in forklift operation and a spotless track record. I am positive, show up on time, and always work at top speed and effort. For all of these reasons, I would make a wonderful Forklift Driver for Dfp Recruitment.

Please let me know a time that we might go over my cover letter and resume. Thanks so much for your time and consideration. I can be reached at the above contact information.

 

Thanks for taking the time to consider my application.

Sincerely,
