Jay F. Jones, Inc. is a lease brokerage company providing all phases of landwork in the Arkoma Basin and
Fayetteville Shale areas of Arkansas and Oklahoma in addition to wireless site acquisitions. I am
forwarding my current résumé to you for your review, in view of my interest in discussing such an
opportunity with your company.
In the last several years I have been a self-employed landman, lease broker and site acquisition and zoning
consultant. My work involved title and leasing as well as zoning and acquisition of sites in Arkansas and
Oklahoma. I have handled Joint Operating Agreements and Farmouts. I have completed a project where I
was in charge of locating and leasing sites for communication sites in South Texas. I was previously
assigned to the Richmond, Virginia area, where I was in charge of AT&T co-location involving twentythree sites.
My years as a Certified Professional Landman afforded valuable experience in purchasing hundreds of oil
and gas leases in several states. I worked closely with attorneys in coordinating lawsuits, and dealt with
numerous regulatory entities. I enlisted landman contractors on larger projects, which necessitated
scheduling, supervision, and overseeing compliance to mission objectives.
I believe one of my key accomplishments is my rate of success in negotiating contractual agreements.
Throughout my career, when there have been complaints from landowners, I have been very effective in
resolving complex issues to quell the dissatisfaction while protecting company interests.
If you are looking for a career-minded individual with a proven record of performance, I would welcome a
personal interview at your convenience to discuss brokerage possibilities with your company. I am
prepared to supply excellent professional references upon your request.
Thank you for your time and consideration in reviewing my qualifications. I look forward to your
response.
Sincerely,
Jay F. Jones
