Dear __________:

Introduce yourself and state your purpose in writing to the receiver. Indicate your
source of information in learning about the job vacancy. Was it through a
newspaper, magazine, the internet, or personal contact? Add an interesting
statement about yourself that will cause the reader to continue reading your
credentials. Show your enthusiasm to work in the company.

Present your work experience, academic qualifications, trainings, and some

personal qualities with specific evidence. Organize your paragraphs accordingly.
You may segregate them by theme (one paragraph for work experience and one
for education) or by function (management, financial, technical). Explain the
benefits to the employers if they hire you. Do not simply give facts; explain how
these facts will contribute to the company. For instance, instead of merely telling
the company about all the trainings you had you may say, “I have extensive
training in copyediting. You will save both time and money because I will need
little training on this area.” In the last part of the body, refer the reader to a
specific part of the resume that suggests your strongest credentials for the
position.

Indicate your interest for an interview at a time most convenient to the employer.
If required, specify the time you are available for an interview. Indicate how the
interviewer can contact you. Express an expectation of a positive response from
the employer. Thank the employer.

Sincerely,

(DO NOT FORGET TO SIGN HERE.)
