Director of Operations
XYZ Company

San Diego, CA 92101
Dear Mr. Jones,
I am applying for the position of marketing assistant with your company as advertised on
Career Services Port Triton job listings. This position seems ideal for my experience,
education, skills, and career interests and I am eager to contribute my enthusiasm and
teamwork to your organization.
Through my major in management science I have obtained solid training in research,
writing, and analysis. In addition, I have had several business-related internships in the
areas of marketing, sales, and finance through which I have gained a great deal of
knowledge about your industry. My main career interest lies in the marketing aspect of
the industry and particularly in helping your company expand its client base. My
computer skills are top notch as a result of designing and maintaining a web site for
the business fraternity on campus. I am confident that through these skills I can make
an immediate contribution to your team.
I would be very interested in discussing this opportunity with you further. I will call you in
a few days to see if we can arrange a mutually convenient time to meet. In the meantime,
please feel free to contact me at 858-555-1111 or email [email protected].
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,

Ginny Smith

Katherine Dryer
Vice President for Marketing
Major Appliance, Inc.
Industry Drive
Los Angeles, CA 90023
Dear Ms. Dryer:
The problem of how to reach the Latino consumer in the Southwest is an
interesting one for Major Appliance as well as other corporations. I believe
part of the problem lies in the lack of understanding about consumption
patterns and how family decisions are made in Latino families. Also, most
marketing and advertising firms are unfamiliar with Spanish language
media, which should be a major vehicle for reaching this community.
Based on my experience working in that community as a researcher and
program evaluator, I have drawn up a list of features for your new line of
refrigerators and washers that I think would be particularly appealing to the
Latino community. I have also made a partial list of media outlets that I
believe would be good for advertising.
Ill plan to call your office next week to see if there is a time when we could
get together to discuss these ideas. A copy of my current resume is
enclosed.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Raoul Mendoza

Ron Jones
Director, Human Resources
ABC Company
1234 My Way
San Diego, CA 92020
Dear Mr. Jones:
I recently learned about the Public Relations summer internship position open in ABC
company through the UCSD Career Services Center and would like to be considered for this
position. I have had the opportunity to speak with Ms. Carson in the Public Relations
Department about the position and about your companys goals for the future.
Because ABC Company is trying to increase its marketing efforts in the 18 24 year old
demographic, I believe my skills and experience, not only as a college student but also in the
field of public relations and marketing can greatly benefit your company and its goals. As you
can see from my resume, I have a strong knowledge of computer applications in the field and
have developed excellent writing skills through my position as a staff writer at my high school
newspaper. In addition, I have experience communicating with the public and with corporate
entities through my familys business.
After youve had an opportunity to review my resume, Id like set up an appointment to talk
with you further about how my skills and experience could benefit your company. I will
contact you in about a week to see about this possibility. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Barbara Business
