RE: Registered Nurse Supervisor Position
I am writing in response to your advertisement in The Daily Star-Journal on Sunday, July 22, 2006 for the Registered Nurse Supervisor position. I have enclosed my resume for your consideration.
Much of my experience as a Registered Nurse has been in infection control and administrative positions. I have spent three of the past five years as the Assistant Director of Nursing for the Higginsville Memorial Hospital. I believe my professional experience and personality would allow me to make a significant contribution to your organization in improving the health care delivery programs to residents in Central Missouri.
I will contact you during the first week of August. I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my skills and experience would contribute to your organization.
If I can answer any questions, provide supporting documentation, or provide additional information, please call me at (660) 123-4567.
Thank you for your consideration.
Respectfully Submitted,

Dear Mr. James:
Greetings! I am aware of the fine reputation that Mississippi Transport Company has in the barge and shipping industry. I would very much like to be a part of your organization. Consequently, I wanted to write you this letter and send you an attached copy of my resume.
I have twelve years of experience as a barge operator and am currently involved in completing the certification process of becoming a barge captain. I have considered numerous opportunities but would especially be happy to work with Mississippi Transport. Your company's goals seems to parallel my career interests.
As you will notice on my enclosed resume, I have all the appropriate licensure to make an immediate contribution to your company. The resume, however, is only a brief summary of my skills, abilities, and experience. I would very much appreciate an opportunity to discuss our mutual interests. I will call you early next week to arrange such a meeting.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at (660) 456-7890.

Dear Ms. Briande:
Greetings! As a graduate of The University of Oklahoma, Bob Bursik recommended I contact you. I will be graduating on May 12, 2006 with a Master of Education in Counseling Psychology and have worked directly with Dr. Bursik for the past two years.
I am interested in relocating to the Southwest. My area of expertise is Career Services and I have a great deal of experience working with adults. I feel I would be especially well suited to working within the community college environment. Since some job vacancies are regionally announced, I would appreciate you letting Bob or myself know of any full-time professional openings.
Enclosed is a copy of my resume for your perusal. I will be traveling through Arizona in late July and would appreciate meeting you as I've heard a lot about you. If you hear of any openings or need additional information, please contact me at (660) 987-6543.
Thank you, Ms. Briande. I look forward to hearing from you.
Respectfully Submitted,
