Dear Mr. Cummings:

My past achievements instill within me a confidence that my future accomplishments as an Associate at Any Firm would be many. Please review the attached resume and supplemental documents to determine if you believe the same. To preview the information detailed on my resume, I offer:

• Ability to plan and direct successful fundraising, public relations, and promotions programs.

• Campaign development and implementation experience with major health agency.

• Extensive volunteer recruitment experience and success motivating diverse teams.

• Supervisory experience with both professional and nonprofessional staffs.

• Capacity to use Word, WordPerfect, Lotus 123, PageMaker, and FileMaker Pro for drafting and editing features and promotional materials, for budgeting tasks, and for graphic projects.

During an enjoyable and productive session, we could discuss how my qualifications match those cited as required in your advertisement in the New York Times. I would like to touch on particular aspects of my background that should be of interest to you. These include:

• Over five years of progressively responsible campaign-development experience.

• Undergraduate Public Relations degree from one of the nation's top communication programs.

• Capacity to successfully address needs and achieve goals of corporate and not-for-profit clients.

I will call to confirm receipt of this letter and, if you judge it appropriate, to arrange an interview at a mutually convenient time and date. In advance, thank you for your time and consideration.

Yours Sincerely,

Chris Smith
