Dear Mr.

Rocco,

While conducting online research on content writing jobs I came across your ad and am submitting not only
my resume but a few writing samples for your review and consideration. I have a degree in English and a solid
background in writing for various clients throughout my freelance writing experience.

I currently write primarily for five clients whose major focuses include human resources training and
development recruiting business management and social media. While following the Purdue OWL AP Style I
create engaging content and am adept at including the natural use of keywords to increase search engine
optimization without interrupting the flow of the article. I have written press releases email newsletters and
articles on various subjects related to business and job search questions and have received excellent ratings
from my clients. I enjoy conducting the necessary research to make my articles relevant current and interesting
and I bring my industry knowledge and experience to every project I tackle. I enjoy the freelance writing
experience and am also open to a contractual arrangement as mentioned in your ad.

I look forward to hearing from you either by email or by phone at your earliest convenience. If you require
writing samples of a more specific nature I’m sure I can provide them. Thank you for your time and
consideration.

Sincerely,

Felicity Weeks

Dear Mr. Smith,

I'm very interested in your job posting for a business writer. In my position as
Business Representative for Union Local 80, I wrote feature articles for the
website, managed content, and wrote a weekly email newsletter to subscribers.

While Legislative Director for Assemblywoman Susan Smith, I researched,

drafted, and amended legislation, wrote press releases, and was responsible for
office communications and correspondence.

I also have extensive experience writing freelance articles on labor issues, which,
I believe, would be an ideal match for this position. Published articles are
available for your review upon request, and I've included with this letter additional
writing samples and my resume. I look forward to hearing from you and thank
you for your consideration.

Dear Hiring Manager,

I'm excited to be applying for the Writer position at River Tech. As a qualified writer with
three years of technical, analytical, and copywriting experience, I enjoy working on a
variety of projects. Pushing myself as a writer has always been important to me, and I
know that at River Tech, I'll have the opportunity to grow and expand my skills while
creating quality content for your team.

During my time at Hawaii Western, I majored in English with an emphasis in Business

Writing. This enabled me to focus on developing my technical writing skills. In fact, I was
able to present my thesis not only at Hawaii Western but at a local conference as well.
This assisted me not only in developing my writing abilities but in helping me hone my
public speaking skills.
My previous position at Cloud Clearwater provided me with an incredible opportunity. I
was able to revamp our company's internal memo system to reflect updated verbiage
and wording. Additionally, I participated in creating social media and digital platform
content for the organization. This helped expand our social media following by over 50%
