Group 720 Writer Square 1512 Larimer Street Denver, CO 80202
Dear Dr. Demetriades:
I am applying for the position of Research Associate at The Johnston
Wells Group. The description of the position, as advertised in The San
Francisco Chronicle, is congruent with my educational and work
background in health care public relations. Having written speeches
and researched the mechanics of the health care system for senior
executives of health management organizations, public and private
hospitals, physicians consulting groups, etc., I have acquired the high
degree of expertise in analytical and communication skills that define
the position with you. Furthermore, my facility with state-of-the-art
computer-assisted research in biotechnology augment those skills.
I have enclosed a portfolio of my writing along with a recent copy of
my curriculum vitae. As this is a confidential search, I would
appreciate an opportunity to speak with you concerning individuals
whom I might approach for references. You can appreciate, I am
certain, the delicacy of interlocking relationships in the highly
interconnected field of health care public relations.
May I take the opportunity to congratulate you on receiving the
International Public Relations Award for research on marketing support
of health care providers? It is a fine tribute to the quality of the service
offered by The Johnston Wells Group. I shall contact you regarding my
response to your advertisement in three weeks. Should you need to
contact me before that time, please call my 24-hour answering service
at 415/555-6874.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Omo J. Kacendar
