Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in the opening for an administrative assistant at [name of company].

I'm drawn to this opportunity for several reasons. First, I have a proven track record of success in
administrative roles, most recently in my current job as an administrative coordinator. A highlight from
my time here was when I proactively stepped in to coordinate a summit for our senior leaders last year. I
arranged travel and accommodation for a group of 15 executives from across the company, organized
meals and activities, collaborated with our internal events team and ensured that everything ran
according to schedule over the two-day summit. Due to the positive feedback I received, I'm now tasked
with doubling attendance for the event this year and leading an internal team to get the job done.

I am attracted to this role because of the growth opportunities that [name of company] provides. The
research that I've done on your company culture has shown me that there are ample opportunities for
self-motivated individuals like me. A high level of organization and attention to detail is second nature to
me, and I'm eager to apply these skills in new and challenging environments.

I look forward to sharing more details of my experience and motivations with you. Thank you for your
consideration.

Sincerely,

[Your name]
