Mr/s. [LASTNAME]:
I am confident that you will find my experience, enthusiasm and expertise as a service provider and
advocate for those affected by mental illness. My qualifications are strongly aligned with the job
requirements for the[ADVERTISED JOB TITLE] position listed on the [COMPANY
NAME] employment web site.
In 2008, I successfully completed my Master’s Degree in the Study of Clinical Psychology; professionally,
I have invested more than 9 years in working to assist and serve individuals whose lives are affected by
mental illness, chemical dependency or developmental disability.
During the course of my career, I have acquired extensive experience as an advocate and problem-solver
for clients whose mental or emotional impairments interfere with their ability to navigate the complexities
of obtaining the proper care through the patchwork of city, county, state and federal social services. As a
result, I consider myself strongly versed in the letter, spirit and reality of the legal and regulatory
authorities protecting the disabled and mentally ill, including the ADA (including Section 504 of the
legislation) and matters relating to reasonable accommodation, determination of eligibility and
compliance auditing.
After you have a chance to review my credentials and experience in the enclosed resume, I look forward to
the opportunity to discuss in greater detail how I might contribute to [COMPANY NAME]'s programs
