RE: Credit/ Collections Manager or Government Affairs Position

Dear Prospective Employer,
Please accept my application for the Credit or Collections Manager Position or Government Affairs/Politics. I became familiar with the Small Claims legal system when I became employed with the Fronteer Directory Company of Nevada in April 1998. Since then, I have become an expert in debt recovery in the State of Nevada. I have operated my own business and taught seminars based on my experience.

As Fronteer Directory's Credit/Legal Manager I have tried hundreds of cases with a 99% success rate. I have consistently exhausted every effort to regain all money that is owed. Some of my other accomplishments include:
• Recovering an estimated $4 Million in Bad Debt recovery for the Fronteer Directory since my employment in 1998
• Recovering $20 Million in revolving accounts.
My personal philosophy regarding debt collection is as follows:
• Preventive maintenance when accepting an account eliminates many bad accounts, and full investigation of an account's ability to pay and their standing in the community enables me to make a decision on credit terms.
• When dealing with customers or defendants, follow your words with actions to assure your credibility.

I would bring experience and professionalism to your company, and would appreciate the opportunity to interview with you.

Respectfully Submitted by;

Steve Sanson
