Application Letter Sample 2 (Email Copy)

As previously mentioned, the format of your application letter may differ depending on whether you are
submitting a print copy or an email copy. The second application letter sample below is a copy tailored
specifically for emails.

Email Subject: Ben Setlhare, Marketing Associate Position

Dear Ms.Hataman

I would like to express my interest in applying for any vacant position in your office.

I believe that my degree in Bachelor in Information Technology (BSIT) from Hardam Furigay Colleges
Foyndation Incorporated has prepared me for any vacant position. As a student, I was equipped with the
necessary knowledge and skills in computer works such as encoding and making presentation.

During my internship at Senn Foods’ Marketing Department, I learned how companies determine what
product or service to sell, how to reach target demographics and how to respond to the demands of
competitors. More importantly, I had the opportunity to work with seasoned professionals who taught
me how to easily grasp complex marketing concepts and at certain times, how to roll with the punches in
order to achieve various objectives.

I have also acquainted myself with a wide range of skills that allow me to blend with the group or team’s
culture and to continuously strive to reach common goals amidst failures and setbacks.

My active involvement in many academic and extracurricular activities has done so well in developing my
communication and leadership skills, which are vital in finding success in the corporate world.

With this application letter, I attach herewith my resume for your full consideration. Thank you for taking
time to review my application and I am looking forward to your reply so that we can further discuss my
application.

Yours faithfully,

Application Letter Writing Tip: Make it a point to include the necessary email subject when sending your
application letter via email. The email subject provided on this application letter sample follows the usual
format (name, position you are applying for) though some recruiters require applicants to send their
application letter (and resumes) with a specific email subject.
Also, when sending your application letter thru email, remember to include your contact details on the
email signature. By doing so, you will enable the recruiter or potential employer to respond to your
application immediately.

Remember that these samples are merely templates meant to serve as a basis in writing your own,
personalized application letter. When writing an application letter, feel free to customize it according to
your own personal preference. You don’t want to have just another generic application letter because
chances are the hiring manager has already read hundreds, or maybe thousands of it. You want your
application letter to stand out and ultimately showcase why you are the best person for the job.
