Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith:

I saw your job posting on the online Classified Ads for the position of babysitter for two young kids. I am very much interested for the job offer and would be grateful if the position is still available.

I am a reliable and honest 19-year-old student at the University of Atlanta. I have four years of work experience dealing with children ranging from ages 1 year to 12 years old. My previous work as a babysitter involved taking care of two children, aged five and eight.

I would appreciate to look after your children during the afternoon on school days or anytime during weekends. I can manage to do school runs as well as helping children with their homework. I can also cook which you will find very convenient in preparing meals for the children. My experience as a life guard at the local swimming resort provide me knowledge about doing first aid and knowing what to do during emergencies. More importantly, I do not smoke and I live a healthy lifestyle.

I am willing to start on the job immediately. If you are interested, please do not hesitate to contact me at (242) 453-2244 so we can talk about meeting arrangements. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Cool-Tech Agency

778 Waterloo Dr.

Seed Moor, LA 76543

Dear Mr. Forman,

I am writing this application in response to your advertisement in the September 7 issue of the Daily Magazine regarding an internship in your agency. My previous work experiences coupled with my status as a marketing junior at California University makes me the perfect candidate for the internship offered by Cool-Tech.

My coursework has included Advertising and Promotions and Internet Marketing, giving me an excellent knowledge on online social networking. In fact, I have just successfully promoted a number of local bands on social networking sites such as Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, and many others.

Ever since I have taken Advertising courses and gained experience in customer relationship management, I have come to consider media advertising as a serious career option. With this in mind, I am certain that an internship with your agency would not only give me a valuable experience for myself but an equally beneficial output for Cool-Tech. I know that your company has a high standard in terms of product quality and customer satisfaction, and I am confident that the mixture of my education, interpersonal skills, and strong initiative will surely make me an asset to your advertising department.

I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my skills and determination can make a positive contribution to your company. You can contact me through the phone number indicated in my resume. Thank you for taking time to read my cover letter. I hope for your positive response.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Roberts,

Big sales is what I intend to give you. I am Steven Marks and I am your next Advertising Manager. I say this with confidence, as I know that what you need is a sales leader who can pull the sales together and immediately produce results. I am that sales leader.

Previously as the Sales Manager of Simple Living Furniture, I have long understood how a company’s advertising efforts can sell or repel a client even before the Sales person makes contact.

In my four years of experience, I have acquired a vast amount of knowledge about the sales process through sales training and forums, and by watching experienced sales executives work firsthand. I have put this knowledge into practice and have learned how to evaluate their effectiveness.

I am now ready to apply my learning to a much bigger market. I believe that your company matches my philosophy of excellence and quality that is why I look forward to the opportunity to tell you how enthusiastic I am to bring my experience to your company and what results I would achieve in my stay there.

You can contact me through the contact information indicated in my resume to set up a meeting at your convenient time.

I look forward to meeting you.

Sincerely,

Steven Marks

I am writing to express my interest in applying as part-time professor in Structural Engineering, as advertised on the weekly newspaper of the College of Engineering.

I am expecting to finish my doctorate degree requirements at the University of Pennsylvania at the end of this year.

To whom it may concern:

As the need for companies to design and graphically convey the “look and feel” aspects of their corporate image to a selected target audience, there is a growing need for talented and experienced graphic/web designers in the field. Therefore, I am submitting my resume should a position for Graphic Artist or Web Designer become available at your company.

I have seven years of graphics experience in the computer networking industry. I am also a team player with excellent work ethic and can work without supervision. My strengths are in web and graphic design, site management and creation of digital graphics for 4-color print media and marketing applications, tradeshow support, preparation of graphics, packaging and marketing collateral for booth shipment.

On a personal note, I was laid off from ABC Networks in 2007. Because I am out of work for 8 months, it was necessary for me to accept a position with a company and a job function that is not relevant to what I enjoy doing most and what I am good at. Now that the job opportunities are rising up, I would like to get back into my field of specialty of computer graphic design.

I am personally looking forward to meeting with you and scheduling an interview. For other concerns that can help arrange this meeting, please feel free to contact me by phone, (562)938-3535, or by e-mail, kier1234@gmail.com.

Thank You.

Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Thomas,

It was with great delight that I found out from August 18 issue of The Anniston Star that Perfect Ads, Inc., is having an expansion into the local bar industry. I am quite certain that my experience in writing and my considerable knowledge on the bar enterprise are a perfect match for the Junior Copywriter position you are offering.

As an English Major at Bowling Green State University and copywriter for the school newspaper, I was able to develop my writing skills in tight-scheduled environments and have acquired working knowledge of AP style. I have proven to be both efficient and creative in my writing because of my assistance to the literacy program designed by the university.

Having also served as a bar tender at some local bars, I have also gained an essential knowledge on the environments, patrons, and the general market of the business you currently seek to assist. It would be my pleasure to be given an opportunity to write fresh and creative ads for these bars and perhaps even to produce new business through my web of contacts at these specific locations.

I would appreciate the chance to discuss with you regarding the Junior Copywriter position. You can contact me through the contact information provided in my resume. I look forward to your favorable response.

Sincerely,

Emily Brown

Dear Mr. Riddick:

I am writing to you as to express my interest in filling up the vacancy of the counselor position at your organization. One of your resident counselors referred the job opportunity to me and I consider my credentials appropriate to the qualification you are looking for. This letter of application is accompanied with my resume as well as other certificates as proof to my outstanding dedication in the field.

During my previous work at our local non-profit organization helping homeless families, I was able to practice different counseling methods and techniques I have learned from training programs and seminars. I have also other work experiences with common counseling concerns such as child and women protection and legal procedures for arranging divorce cases. These additional skills give me an advantage in resolving issues with different degrees of seriousness.

My Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice also gave me an advantage in improving my counseling skills. I believe that these credentials would make me fit for the position and my experiences in the practice put me on top of the qualified applicants. Thank you for your kind consideration. I am looking forward to your positive reply.

Sincerely,

Thomas Ferguson
