Mr. Richard E. Campana,
HR Recruiter,
ABC Advertisings,
4330 Charles Street,
Southfield, MI 48075.
Dear Mr. Campana,
I write this letter in response to the advertisement that you had given in the local employment news (18 May 2004) seeking candidates for the post of media coordinator. I would like to apply for the same.
I have enclosed my resume along with this cover letter, which will give you a detailed report of my educational and vocational details. In this cover letter, I would attempt to give a highlight of my credentials and capabilities, which would make it easier for you to judge me as a suitable or not-suitable candidate for the vacancy in your company.
I am a post-graduate student of mass communication from ISMC (international school of mass communication). I have done my graduation in commerce. I am well versed with statistics and journalism, which are the two most important skills needed for a media coordinator. I have attended practical workshops wherein I undertook training sessions for communication skills. I have also done a certification course of social and media marketing, which I think, will prove my worth as a suitable candidate for the post.
My application may be just one among thousand others, but I can promise you that, I can prove myself as one outstanding from the thousand others. I have seen many advertisements of your company. I am also acquainted with two or three people who work for your company. Whatever I have heard from them about your company has increased my anxiousness and eagerness to be a part of your organization.
I will be very happy if I am shortlisted for an interview, where we can have a good amount of discussion regarding other aspects of my profile and you can also clear any doubts that you may probably be having regarding me.
I will be looking forward to hear from you soon.
Sincerely,
Clement P. Weekley,

Dear Ms. Bryant,
I write this letter with reference of Mr. Smith Anderson, who works with your company as a senior manager. He had referred me for the post of copywriter in your company. I came to know about this vacancy in your company three days ago. I write this letter to apply for the post of a copywriter in your company.
I have enclosed my resume along with this letter. It will throw light on the various details of my education and work experience. I write this letter to make you familiar with some of my basic skills that I think will put an end to your search for a copywriter.
I am a student of English Literature from ISL (International School of literature), and have completed my graduation and post-graduation from the same institution. I have a flair for writing since childhood and have enjoyed writing almost anything and everything. I have won many prizes at state and national level for various essay and poetry writing competition. I have also been the consecutive and consistent winner in 'spin the yarn competition' during my college years. I have three years of work experience in the line of content writing; I had worked for a web-developing company.
I think all these qualities make me a worthy candidate for the vacancy in your company. I am also too eager to join your firm as I have heard a lot positive things about your company from Mr. Anderson.
I would look forward for an interview call, soon, where I can meet you in person.
