Here are two examples of cover letters that might go with a resume:

1.  Cover letter seeking employment at a company that 
has not advertised a position:


Juana Donning
Executive Vice President, Human Relations
Salad On A Stick, Inc.
7270 Glades Road
Boca Raton, FL 33487


Dear Ms. Donning,

I am writing to you to express my interest in working for you in the human resources department at Salad On A Stick, Inc.
  As you can see from my resume, I have several years of experience at two food processing companies performing a wide range of duties. My communications skills are strong in English and in Spanish and I believe I have a special ability to serve as a liaison between management and a largely immigrant work force.

I am a great fan of your signature product--Salad On A Stick--and am eager to use my talents to contribute to your fast-growing company.  I will telephone you next week to explore employment opportunities at Salad On A Stick.  I look forward to meeting with you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,


Desiree Trabajar

 

 

2. Cover letter in response to an advertisement:


John Hireperson
Director of Employee Relations
Sabroso Chorizo, Inc.
54321 11th St.
Los Angeles, CA 90000

April 18, 2001

Dear Mr. Hireperson,


I am responding to your advertisement for an editor for the bilingual employee newsletter at Sabroso Chorizo.
  As you can see from my resume, I am fully bilingual as well as fluent in the Latino culture. Although my background is in human resources rather than journalism, I assure you that my communications and writing skills are quite strong in English and in Spanish.

My current position at Tasty Treatmakers involves some writing, including bulletins and rewrites for an employee handbook, and requires strong organizational skills, as stated in your advertisement. I am familiar with desktop publishing software for both Windows and for Mac.

I am eager to meet with you to discuss how my talents could be used to produce a compelling and informative newsletter for the diverse work force at Sabroso Chorizo.  I will call next Thursday to arrange an appointment.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,


Desiree Trabajar
