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 Alicea,
It was great to speak with you in person at the Women’s Conference. I have attached my resume as you requested.

Your insistence on high-quality work and state-of-the-art technology fits perfectly with my interest in remaining abreast of ever-improving software. I think you’ll be pleased when you see the scope of my work using parametric and associative dimensioning in CAD systems.

I’d like to get together again, this time in an environment that’s more conducive to discussion. I’m eager to learn more about the designer position at your firm and to show you my complete portfolio.

I’ll call Monday to see when we can meet at your office.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Morris,

John Lovell advised me of a foreman position that’s available at your company. From my enclosed resume, you will find that my experience meets the requirements you’ve outlined for the position.

I am considered a diplomatic manager, which enables me to get along well with clients, supervisors, and crew. My ability to maintain high morale among workers increases retention and contributes to safety, a crucial factor in the success of construction work.

Dear John,

What an exciting adventure you have embarked upon! I definitely would like to host your four-part series. I especially like the idea of doing some field work, interviewing world adventurers who travel alone.

Once we were off the phone, two questions came to mind:

• Is this going to be a live or pre-recorded show?

• Will we use an interview or documentary format?

I’m enclosing the material I mentioned: my resume and a few issues of my “Travel Tip of the Month.” These tips would make excellent segment topics.

John, thanks for thinking of me for the role of host. I will follow up on this note to learn when we can begin work together.

Sincerely yours,

Paula Watson

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.

I believe that Dr. Jones spoke with you about my qualifications:

* Seven years as a research assistant to Ernest Brentwood, Ph.D.
* Key contributor to DNA studies presented at the 1995 Biogenetics Conference.

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.

Sincerely yours,

Fred Redman

Dear Kristen:
I saw your listing on Craigslist.com for a website designer for your tee-shirt company. I’m attaching my resume even though it doesn’t list my extensive tee-shirt folding experience.

Your site has some very imaginative animation/movement, especially the Sluggo! I look forward to talking with you about how I may be of help.
