Mr. John Smith,
Director of Personnel
Bank of Chicago
257, Park Avenue South,
New York, NY 12345-6789.
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am applying for the position of client account coordinator, which was advertised Aug. 4 with the career services center at The Pennsylvania State University. The position seems to fit very well with my education, experience, and career interests.
According to the advertisement, your position requires excellent communication skills, computer literacy, and a B.S. degree in business, economics, or finance. I will be graduating from Penn State University this month with a B.S. degree in finance. My studies have included courses in computer science, management information systems, speech communications, and business writing. I understand the position also requires a candidate who is team- and detail-oriented, works well under pressure, and is able to deal with people in departments throughout the firm. These are skills I developed both in my course work and in my recent internship at Hunter & Katchur Finance Inc. in Boalsburg, Pa.
My background and goals seem to match your requirements well. I am confident that I can perform the job effectively, and I am excited about the idea of working for a dynamic, nationally recognized investment management firm.
If you would like to schedule an interview or otherwise discuss my interest in this position, please call me at 814/555-2468. I will be available at your convenience.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Richard Anderson

Dear Mr. Smith,
The accompanying resume is in response to your listing in the Chicago Tribune for a security officer.
I am especially interested in this position because my experience as a senior security professional in the Army has prepared me for a disciplined, secure work environment and the challenges associated with unexpected events. I'm looking forward to using this experience for enhancing the security of a growing and community-conscious bank.
I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my experience will best meet your needs. My ideas on how to improve your bank's security posture may be of particular interest to you. Therefore, I will call your office on the morning of March 17 to inquire if a meeting can be scheduled at a convenient time.
I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely yours,
Richard Anderson

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing at the suggestion of your colleague Sara Caruso. At a recent meeting with Ms. Caruso,
she told me that Acme Securities had openings for entry-level analysts and she advised me to apply.
During my education at Northeastern University, I learned about the intricacies of the market including options, dividends, bond valuation, and mutual funds. My membership in the Northeastern Finance and Investments Club for the past year enhanced my financial background. I have practical experience through my cooperative education jobs at State Street Corporation and Gillette, where I built upon my already strong communication skills by working directly with customers and gained valuable first-hand experience in the financial industry.
Acme Securities online brokerage department particularly interests me. Your innovative approach to allowing customers access to research and real-time movement has intrigued me throughout my participation in the Finance and Investment Club. I believe that my experience developing online banking systems, as well as my personal use of your online brokerage system, will help me become a valuable team member in your organization.
I am confident that my skills and experience qualify me as a strong candidate for an entry-level
position in your company and I would welcome the opportunity to interview with you. I can be
reached day or evening at 123-456-7890. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Richard Anderson

Director, Personnel Department
Coastal Products Incorporated

Dear Mr. Smith,
As a May 20XX MBA candidate, I have been actively researching career paths that offer
substantial growth opportunities in industries with significant impact. In my opinion,
Standard Oil of Ohio is unsurpassed in meeting these objectives. As a native Clevelander, I
have followed your development from a strong regional marketer and refiner to a fully
domestic oil and energy corporation. The financial risks assumed with the British
Petroleum merger and the subsequent capital outlays for the development of North Slope
production were great. The rapid growth of income and the necessity of reinvestment (at
profitable returns on investment) are critical to the future success of the corporation. It is in
this area that I can make a substantial contribution. Specifically, I am interested in being a
member of your Financial Planning and Analysis Department.
I offer the following qualifications:
- Developed analytical skills and working knowledge of three computer languages.
- Three years of working experience (one and one-half years full time) with a
contractor at production fields, pipelines, refineries, and gasoline service stations.
- A strong desire to distinguish myself through hard work and creativity.
I am confident that my strong background and knowledge of the oil industry will enable
me to be a productive member of your Financial Planning and Analysis Department. The
enclosed resume summarizes my accomplishments.
I have planned a trip to Cleveland during the week of March 10th, and hope to arrange an interview with you sometime during that period. I will call you within a week to schedule an appointment.
Sincerely,
Richard Anderson
