Dear Mr. Weller:
I am responding to your advertisement in The Denver Post on August 17, 200_ for a
Customer Service Representative.
My background and experience make me well suited for this position. As you can see
on my résumé, a variety of positions in retail have led to excellent skills in many areas,
including customer service. I work equally well with little or no supervision or as a
member of a team. I am a punctual and enthusiastic.
Knowing how important repeat business is to a company such as yours, I am confident
that my qualifications will be an asset to your company. The customer service and
goodwill which I provided at my former retail positions resulted in a high number of
satisfied customers and return visits. I can proudly say that customers often asked for
me by name.
I am available at your convenience to further discuss my qualifications and how they
may best be utilized at Skiland United. I will call you the early part of next week to
discuss the possibility of arranging a personal interview.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Barry Sanderson
