Dear Mr. Gilreath:
As a company and regional President with Diamond Industries APG Architectural Products, I led the growth and profit improvement initiatives for many mid-sized architectural product companies. I am a Civil (Structural) Engineer with an MBA, and I am based in Dallas.
Implementing innovative process improvements, expanding sales, turning around under-performing companies, and acquiring and successfully integrating complementary businesses are ways I add value. Successes include:
Doubled building product sales from $132MM to $250MM in three years through new channel development, strategic growth initiatives, and successful merger integration.
Reduced operating cost by $8.4MM via consolidation, Lean Manufacturing principles and process modifications.
Identified, evaluated, and acquired six building product manufacturing companies with $155MM in combined revenue.
Successfully turned around a troubled homebuilder and four distressed building product manufacturing companies.
Recruited, coached, and mentored seven employees who became Presidents of affiliated companies.
Please give me a call to discuss how my team-focused approach and commitment to excellence can add value to your private equity client’s architectural product manufacturing and distribution operation.
Sincerely,
Tom Frederick

I have another cover letter example from a skin in the game CEO prospect who is updating me on what he is qualified for and would consider. This type of cover letter update and cut to the chase resume could be used to keep in touch with PEGs you have met or have encouraged you to stay in touch. To me, it’s short, sweet, and effective:
