Dear Mr. Anybody

Dr. Andrew Doe of State University has told me about the expansion of your company’s operations and your plans top increase the size of your sales staff. If sales position is open at this time, I would appreciate your considering me for it.

Starting with over-the-counter sales and order service, I have had progressively more responsible experiences in merchandising products similar to yours. Recent experience as an assistant manager has also provided me with an opportunity to carry out a variety of sales promotion assignments. The enclosed resume will provide you with further details about my qualifications for a sales position with your company.

Please call me at 555-2468 to schedule a time that would be convenient for you to meet with me. I would greatly appreciate an opportunity to talk with you further about my working for your company.

Sincerely yours

Jane E. Smith
