edu September 15, 2013 Danie Kersten Store Manager Buckle 3702 Frederick Ave Suite 40 Saint Joseph MO, 64506 Re: Sales & Management Internship Dear Ms. Kersten, Rachel Zoe once said, Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak. My strong communication and unique mix of marketing experience drew my interest to the open position. My passion for apparel and how style evolves over the years increases with each marketing/sales course I take. I have been a loyal customer of Buckle since 8th grade because I truly believe the Buckle has the best selection of clothing for various styles, on top of reliable customer service, which is why I would like a chance to join the Buckle team. I am currently a junior at Northwest Missouri State University studying marketing. Im currently enrolled in a retailing course and I am eager to leverage my classroom learning into real world experience. I work 20 hours a week at Jimmy Johns, known for their friendly customer service. My years of working in team environments and leadership positions are also qualities I bring to the position. The internship Buckle provides would be a great start to my journey in Marketing. My ultimate goal is to join a company with growth potential. Also, I want to thank you in advance for reviewing my application and would love the opportunity to speak further about the position at hand. I plan to follow up on my application within the next week, but if you need to contact me sooner I can be reached at (402)689-5292 or S508637@mail.nwmissouri.edu. Sincerely, Marlee Skolkin
