Dear Mrs. Spence,

At the suggestion of Charlotte Suarez, I am submitting my resume for the position of Event Coordinator. My forte is in bringing together topnotch people from a variety of interests to present a well-coordinated and well-attended event.

My interest in your fast-growing consulting firm comes from the creatively planned events your firm is known for. My energy is boundless and I am at my best when I am in the "thick of things."

One of the most personally rewarding aspects of working in the convention industry is meeting and establishing relationships with others who thrive on the excitement this business inspires. I will contact you early next week to find out when we might meet to discuss the position.

Sincerely,

Alice Myers

Mr. Harold Lewis
Chief Executive Officer
Pharmatech, Inc.
146 West Palm Drive
Miami, FL 12345

Dear Mr. Lewis,

Edwin Franks, a member of your advisory team, spoke briefly to me yesterday about some concerns you're having with Pharmatech's profit margins. I think I have some insights that would be useful to you.

It seems to me that the first issue to be addressed is the recent decline in profits of your number one product, PowerPills+. I'd also suggest a new system of financial analysis that can make a tremendous improvement in the way you evaluate profitability in the long run. In other words, let's use our "first aid kit" for PowerPills+ and then set up preventive measures so this won't happen with other products down the line.

Understanding that Edwin did not speak to me in detail about your situation, I would appreciate a conversation with you in person. I assure you that our discussion will be held in the strictest confidence.

I will call your office in a few days in hopes of setting up an appointment to meet with you. Because my work hours are flexible, I can most likely accommodate your calendar.

Thank you,

Bob Walker

Dear Mr. Greenbrott,

It's the positive theme of Disney's entertainment that appeals so much to me. As your Regional Marketing Representative, I'd like to promote Disney vacation packages to audiences young and old throughout Arizona.

Dear Mr. Morris,

Mr. Bill Hankins
General Manager
Pittsburgh Steelers
12 First Ave. NE, Suite 600
Pittsburgh, PA 12345

Dear Mr. Hankins,

Having functioned as the travel agent for your administrative personnel for the last several months, I would like to serve as the full-time Travel Director for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

After rescuing the Steelers staff from the "2000 air travel near-disaster" and revamping the winter itinerary, I'm fully aware of the complexities of the team's yearly travel plans. Without a doubt, I can deliver economical and dependable arrangements.

Notice in my enclosed resume that I have the ideal professional marriage:

• Strong background in the travel industry

• Working involvement in professional sports

I have a proven record of facilitating the smooth transportation of groups under pressure-and I can't think of anyone under more pressure than your players during football season!

Thank you for your consideration of my application. I'll check in with you next week to see when I can fit into your interview calendar.

Sincerely yours,

Geraldine Bostwick

Dear Dr. Bishop,

Dr. Jones in the Biogenetics Department of U.C. San Diego mentioned that you are looking for a new scientist for your DNA team. When he told me that your project is embarking on a new study, I knew I must apply for the position quickly.

It would be a career highlight for me to work with you. I will call your office next week to see when you will be interviewing candidates. Thank you for giving my application serious consideration.

Dear Mr. Cecil,

"One of the most important elements of a well-written grant proposal is the writer's passion for the cause she or he is promoting." --Ray Moisa

I have a deep regard for your organization and I am a long-time member in the LEAF Club. As the Development Director for Life Environment Atmosphere and Future, I would apply my expertise in fundraising and grant writing, which would fulfill my interest in your mission: to work for the betterment of life in all of its forms.

Mr. Robert Bigsley

IBG Computer Store

Elmhurst, IL 12345

Dear Mr. Bigsley,

After four years as a loyal IBG customer, I'd like to join your sales team on the other side of the counter. With several years in sales under my belt, I'm interested in applying for your sales management opening.

I know the products sold at IBG inside and out-I researched them thoroughly before purchasing the multi-media system I now use and love. I believe coming up to speed would primarily involve learning IBG's management policy. In the arena of employee management, I have two years of supervisory experience with my current employer.

Because I'm in your store so frequently, I'll ask for you next time I'm there. Perhaps we can set a time to talk about the sales manager position soon.

Thank you!

Randy Ramos
