Date: 1st May, 2005.
Mr. John Smith,
Director, Personnel Department
Coastal Products Incorporated
257, Park Avenue South,
New York, NY 12345-6789.
Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing at the suggestion of your colleague Sara Caruso. At a recent meeting with Ms. Caruso,
she told me that Acme Securities had openings for entry-level analysts and she advised me to apply.
During my education at Northeastern University, I learned about the intricacies of the market including options, dividends, bond valuation, and mutual funds. My membership in the Northeastern Finance and Investments Club for the past year enhanced my financial background. I have practical experience through my cooperative education jobs at State Street Corporation and Gillette, where I built upon my already strong communication skills by working directly with customers and gained valuable first-hand experience in the financial industry.
Acme Securities’ online brokerage department particularly interests me. Your innovative approach to allowing customers access to research and real-time movement has intrigued me throughout my participation in the Finance and Investment Club. I believe that my experience developing online banking systems, as well as my personal use of your online brokerage system, will help me become a valuable team member in your organization.
I am confident that my skills and experience qualify me as a strong candidate for an entry-level
position in your company and I would welcome the opportunity to interview with you. I can be
reached day or evening at 123-456-7890. Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Richard Anderson
