General Manager

Dear Mr. Hedgeland,

I'd like to apply for the retail sales job opening you listed in the Atlantic Express last Friday. Throughout high school, I spent a little more time listening to rock 'n roll (as well as more current music styles) than my parents wished. As a result, I consider myself a 1950-to-present music buff, and would love a job that involved working with and around other people with that interest.

I'm an easy person to get along with and I'm pretty ambitious (I was voted "most likely to succeed" by my senior classmates). I can picture myself doing well on your sales floor.

I'm enclosing my resume in which I show not only my after-school jobs, but also my love of music, records, and musical instruments. I think you'll see that I live for music.

I'll come by your store next week in hopes of speaking with you about the job.

Thank you!

Frank Pardona
