Mr. Randolph Charles, Vice President
National Safety Systems, Inc.
26 East Ontario Street
Chicago, IL 09876
Dear Mr. Charles:
It was a pleasure speaking with you recently about your plans to expand into the corporate market.
I have just returned from two weeks vacation and am anxious to pursue our discussion of the exciting profit potential such a program can offer National Safety -- a potential of which I am well aware, having built Wytech Security's corporate program from the ground up to its current status as a major profit center for the company.
As a springboard for this discussion, I have enclosed another copy of my resume. Since you last saw it, my responsibilities have been increased. I now lead the planning and implementation of one of the company's major strategic initiatives: promoting multisite security systems to firms that operate from coast to coast. I am responsible for the sale of full-service security system packages, which include customized system design, installation, and staff training.
As a result, I can offer National Safety Systems the experience, foresight, and personal contacts required to tap the corporate security market and to take full advantage of the potential for return this market offers.
I will contact you again shortly to see how we might proceed. I thank you again for your consideration and look forward to seeing you.
Sincerely,
A. Michael Greer

Mr. Howard Walsh
Sales Manager
Long Life Insurance Company
100 South College Boulevard
Denver, CO 80300
Dear Mr. Walsh:
Thank you for spending so much time with me during my visit to your headquarters on Monday.
Seeing the respect evident between you and your colleagues was completely refreshing for me -- as was discovering the innovative sales strategies you've introduced. I am eager to join forces with you.
You can count on me to quickly become a familiar face to prospects, clients, and business leaders in and around Denver. Through previous moves, I have become adept at forging contacts and friendships through my personal interest in the arts as well as my participation in the activities of local business groups (such as the Lifers Club, United Way, Police Athletic League, Financial Marketing Association, Advertising Club and the Red Cross in Atlanta). Turning these connections into sales is integral to my status as the top biller at my agency for four years running.
I will forward additional information to you shortly to support what my record has already proven: that I will produce nothing less than outstanding results for you and Long Life.
Sincerely,
Allison Deal

Ms. Julia Klemperer, Comptroller
Howard Industries
Suite 300
67 Houston Street
Spring City, TX 09876
Dear Ms. Klemperer:
Thank you for the opportunity to meet you and interview for the Bookkeeper position. Hearing you recount the growth your company has enjoyed, I am certain that your own hard work and commitment are the roots of your success.
As your bookkeeper, I will bring the same dedication to the fulfillment of your firm's accounting responsibilities.
-- I am adept at handling all aspects of your accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and payroll taxes. My 5 years of experience in these areas means that you can rely on me for skill and accuracy.
-- Unlike others in my field, I am well versed in handling a payroll with diverse commissions/bonus structures. This reduces or eliminates the potential for problems that arise when payment errors aggravate your Sales Representatives.
-- Furthermore, my computer expertise (Peachtree, MAS90, and Quickbooks for MAC) allow me to contribute immediately, without taking valuable company time for training.
I would very much like to join your firm. If you require any additional information before making your decision, please let me know. I would be pleased to visit your office again for another meeting or provide further references, if you wish.
Thank you for considering me.
Sincerely,
Barton Hennessey

Mr. Wesley Valentin
Valentin Designs
1515 Severth Avenue
New York, NY 09876
Dear Mr. Valentin:
It was wonderful speaking with you last week. Thank you for spending so much time with me.
I am extremely interested in pursuing the Assistant Buyer opening at your firm because it represents the perfect match between your needs and my strengths.
My retailing background has familiarized me with an industry where diplomacy and tact are of supreme importance. As we discussed, the ability to quickly assess an individual in order to respond appropriately and productively is more a personality trait than an acquired skill -- it can rarely be taught.
I am pleased to report that my colleagues have repeatedly acknowledged my abilities in interpersonal communications. In fact, I have taken the liberty of enclosing several letters of referral that highlight this unique trait.
I hope it is evident that I would welcome the chance to work for Valentin Designs with you personally, Mr. Valentin. Please let me know if there is any further information you require.
Sincerely,
Rachael Isserman

Ms. Leonore Valerio
Lincoln Center Institute
New York, NY 09876
Dear Ms. Valerio:
Thank you for taking an interest in me as a teaching artist for Lincoln Center. I enjoyed our telephone conversation of last week, and have received the information you forwarded to me.
This position represents an important opportunity for me to continue my productive association with the Lincoln Center Institute. As both a dancer and dance captain with LCI, I meet regularly with the artists prior to our performances to explore the link between the classroom material and the post-performance open talk. Invariably, this preparation proves priceless to students who benefit from a newfound familiarity with the elements of dance, and the terminology introduced in class.
This, along with my current participation as a member of your affiliated New York City Baroque Dance Company, reinforces my teaching philosophy: to share with my students the great joy of movement. I have found that every student can experience the pleasures of dancing, and of learning about the many methods for expression through movement. Depending upon their age and level, I introduce my students to various technical challenges, dance forms, and elements of composition. With the advantage of live performance, which your program offers, a teacher can guide the students towards a better understanding and appreciation of the performing arts. Books, pictures, and video tapes can enhance, but not replace, the experience of a live performance -- and the students truly enjoy it!
As an artist, I believe we have an obligation to show society the ways in which art can be brought into the mainstream of education. As a mother, I understand that a child's intellectual and emotional development must be well-rounded. I feel strongly that we can allow neither the winds of politics nor families' failings to adversely affect an entire new generation. Plus, we owe it to our future artists to help create a society supportive of the arts, one in which the arts may flourish.
Combined, my experience and commitment offer the advantages only a dedicated artist and educator can offer. I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you personally. I salute the wonderful LCI program, and thank you again for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Isadora Ilianya

Ms. Chikara Itano
Denson & Denson Chemicals
1490 Anaheim Way
Anaheim, FL 09876
Dear Ms. Itano:
Congratulations on your promotion! It's so gratifying to see women recognized for their skills.
I enjoyed speaking with you on the phone yesterday, and, as promised, I've enclosed some information on myself and my capabilities. As you'll see, I've had a fair amount of experience within the financial services arena as well as a pseudomedical education.
My particular expertise is in the pharmaceuticals industry, a field in which many writers are less fluent. I am well-versed in the chemical and medical "lingo" that supports a vast range of pediatric, nutritional, pharmaceutical, and biological prescriptions, and over-the-counter products, as well as the government regulations governing their discussion in any public forum. This knowledge allows me to execute a greater number of projects at a far faster pace than other technical writers.
I would welcome the chance to show you samples of my work, at your convenience. When things settle down for both of us, let's get together. I will call you again towards the end of this month.
In the meantime, I wish you the best in your new position.
Sincerely,
Amy Rubenstein

San Jose, CA 09876
Dear Hal:
It was great to see you yesterday and reminisce about our days at Growth Systems. Seems like just yesterday -- but I digress!
Although I am chagrined that Genebyte's hiring freeze is still in place, I do appreciate your offer to recommend me after the thaw. As you know, our work at Growth Systems during those heady days when the computer industry was being born provides a background few can match. It would be a thrill to join forces with you again -- especially on a project as exciting as your multimedia/cellular assignment.
Hal, thanks again for seeing me and filling me in on Genebyte's activities. Please give my regards to Jill.
I'll keep in touch.
Best,
Jim Dixon

Ms. Anne Rice
Constitution Savings Bank
3 Constitution Plaza
Miami, Florida 30330
Dear Ms. Rice:
Thank you for allowing me to present myself as a candidate for Operations Manager, a prospect about which I am very excited. It was a pleasure meeting you on Wednesday -- and discovering our mutual Midwestern roots!
Given my background, I can understand the need for a Manager who can attend to detail without compromising the division's overall profitability. Throughout my tenure with Merrill Lynch, I have worked to achieve these demanding goals. During the past 10 years, I personally led the division to cut costs by 12% while improving our overall accuracy rate to 98%.
What this means for you is that as Constitution's Operations Manager I can bring the same skill, insight, and experience to motivate your staff to improve accuracy, streamline costs, and increase the effectiveness of the "back room," bringing Operations to the forefront of the Bank's profit centers.
I will contact you shortly to see when we might meet again to expand upon this vital goal.
Sincerely,
Jim Williams

I am eager to prove my abilities and successes to you on a first-hand basis. I will keep in touch to see when we might meet again, and if there is any other information I can provide you in the meantime.
Thank you again for your time and consideration.

Reading, PA 09876
Dear Ms. Porter:
Thank you for your time during our luncheon last week. My journey from Conshohocken to Reading was a breeze, just as you predicted!
VisionQuest's innovations are legendary among those "in the know," and it was fascinating to discover the efforts that went into your unique achievements. Those who benefit from your firm's breakthrough technologies in nonsurgical visual impairment treatments cannot imagine the dedication and training required of your teams.
I would welcome the opportunity to join a team such as yours and have, therefore, enclosed a summary of my own accomplishments in research and design. Because my procedures and standards of measurement are so similar to those employed by VisionQuest, my assimilation with your team's methodology would be quite smooth -- a breeze, in fact, like my trip to Reading!
Please let me know what additional information I can provide to help sway your hiring decision in my direction.
I thank you again for your time.

I want to thank you for your time on Wednesday. Our discussion left me even more excited about your sales team -- and convinced that I'd be a perfect fit.
As you know, I have dedicated the last 10 years of my career to electronic technologies. Now I'm eager to make that same commitment to a challenging growth business -- as Manning FiberOptics is.
Hire me and you'll get a loyal employee who is honest and hard working, and who understands the industry, clients, and buyers; someone with an established, solid reputation who will add to your image and your bottom line.

Dear Ms. Russo:
I enjoyed our meeting last week and appreciate your time and candor. As another ex-IBMer, your perspective was especially meaningful to me.
My decade of experience in facilities management has made me a planner, a promoter, and a problem solver -- and it is a real pleasure to meet someone who values these qualities. Joining a division that recognizes and depends upon these strengths provides precisely the environment and challenge I seek.
In return, I offer you my proven track record in keeping costs under control while always getting more from agents than they had planned to offer. Proven by the fact that I have been IBM's leading site manager for the past 3 years, and will use my superiors as references!
I'd welcome the opportunity to work with you. I'll be in contact to see how we can make this happen.
