TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
I am writing to you in response to the Sales Associate job advertisement listed on your website. I am here to convey my
interest in the position, as I am confident that I compass the necessary qualifications needed to fulfill the job role.
Over the past three years, I have volunteered/worked at the Gleaner’s Community Food Bank in Howell, MI. My
experience over those short three years taught me how to deal with customers of all races/ethnicities/backgrounds.
Furthermore, the job also taught about how effective customer service is vital to any organization, whether it be a for-
profit/non-profit organization. If you were to ask my former boss about me, the first thing they would mention is my
devotion to the job. For example, at Gleaners, I:
 Provided upstanding customer service to all people, which produced overwhelming feedback from many
customers over the years whom I came into contact with.
 Worked hard without complaint, always willing to do whatever was expected of me in a timely manner.
 Maintain quality of service to everyone, regardless of how they treated me.
I would liketo discuss your sales associate position in more detail, and would be more than happy to come for
interview at a time that is convenient for you. I am available by phone or email, however due to that I am in high
school, I can be better reached by email. I thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to hearing from
you.
Sincerely,
Aaron K. Ashton
