Ms. Marie Bruno, Advertising Director
Fashion Clearinghouse

New York, NY 10000
Dear Mr. Milton and Ms. Bruno:
I am applying for the position of Marketing Communications Supervisor because your ad said these three things to me:
* Your thoughtful, classy layout -- setting it apart from all the other ads on December's FashionWeek Help Wanted page -- "beat the clutter," the dream of all retailers.
* Your description of the ideal candidate reflects my skills, my strengths, my experience.
* You are a substantive company offering a product of superior quality.
My resume, which is enclosed, speaks of my experience and expertise in retailing, and most recently in the marketing of personal computers. I am assertive, diligent, driven, and hardworking. I am a seeker of end results -- and I achieve them, as the enclosed overview of my accomplishments proves. I thrive and deliver in a demanding, and fast paced environment. I am willing to tackle and accomplish any project. My management style is open, humorous, example-driven, and loyal.
I believe that we can be successful partners. I want the chance to meet with you and would consider an interview a most wonderful opportunity. I'll make myself available at your convenience so that we may discuss salary in detail, and I can provide references.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Aldo Clement

RE: City Times 5/20/9X ad for an Esthetician
Dear Ms. Longo:
When working with clients, my goals are to pamper the mind and body ... soothe muscle tension ... relieve stress ... eliminate fatigue due to overwork ...... the very same benefits you'll enjoy when you add a professional, experienced esthetician to your staff. And few are as accomplished as I am.
Naturally, I am skilled at blending concentrated therapeutic oils for aromatherapy massage to create the optimal ambience for effective beauty treatments. But I am also well versed in a complete range of additional revitalizing regimes including facial and body skin care, body scrub and polishing, tissue toning, hydrotherapy, seaweed body mask, and detoxification.
The result is that by hiring me, you acquire a range of additional services to offer your clients for the price of a single, expert esthetician. Plus, I can bring with me an established, affluent base of regular clientele.
I firmly believe in the importance of massage and esthetic treatments to combat stress and prevent illness, and would appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate my abilities first-hand.
If you would be kind enough to contact me at my home number, I will be pleased to schedule an appointment to discuss how my varied skills can relieve the pressure for you and your staff.
Cordially,
Susan Ellis Long
