You can find below some of the most used letter for responding job announcement:
Letter #1:
I am responding to your advertisement in the Doe Post inviting applications for a position in chemical engineering. I
am currently a research chemist for Johnson’ Chemical Corporation, where I enjoy my work, but I would prefer
participating in your research program on new plastics.
I have worked on a number of projects dealing with different polymerization processes and am involved in
researching aeronautical applications of polyethylene products. My interest in plastics began at Doe University,
where I wrote my graduate thesis on early uses of polyethylene.
I am enclosing my resume and look forward to an opportunity for a personal interview.
Letter #2:
Last week I spoke with Jane Doe about the clinical director position at your facility. We both agreed that the job is a
perfect match with my goals and qualifications.
I spent six years as clinical coordinator in charge of two 26-bed units at the Springfield facility. In that position I
developed two new programs that are now widely used in clinical treatment.
My postgraduate fellowship in clinical research at Springfield University has prepared me to manage the
experimental units at the main clinic. The attached resume will provide more details about my experience and
education.
I am eager to meet with you to discuss how my qualifications meet your needs.
Letter #3:
I am writing to you in response to your Internet advertisement requesting applicants for the position of technical
writer in Springfield University’s archaeology laboratory. I hold bachelor’s degrees in archaeology and English and
have three seasons’ experience in excavation and lab work, including data entry, artifact cataloging, and
preparations for the various methods of artifact dating. In addition, I wrote the chapter detailing survey methods for
Dr. John Doe’s “Final Report on the Centerville Field School Project.” This work involved transcribing the field notes
onto Laboratory of Anthropology forms, mapping and recording sites by section, township, and province, and
creating a narrative description of the project’s survey methods.
The years spent in the English department have prepared me for the challenges of writing for a variety of readers,
and much of my creative writing has been published. Also, under the guidance of Dr. Doe I have directed my efforts
within archaeology toward writing. Archaeology needs writers to make it interesting, especially in this time of budget
cuts and battles over land use.
I certainly qualify as proficient in the use of most of the popular spreadsheet programs and other relevant computer
applications. I have spent many days entering data and crunching numbers in the service of archaeology.
Please see the attached resume for further details of my qualifications. I will gladly provide references at your
request. I can be reached at 555-5555. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing my suitability for this

Letter #4:
I am applying for the teaching position you advertised in The Springfield Herald. As you will notice from my enclosed
resume, I have several years’experience as an English teacher and I recently earned my MA degree from
Springfield University. During my graduate work I was particularly interested in adult education and did my thesis
research in this area.
In addition to my teaching experience I have developed instructional materials designed to teach English as a
second language to adults. My skill set includes outstanding communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving
skills, proven leadership skills, computer literacy, a short learning curve with excellent retention, and the ability to
work independently or as an effective team member.
At this time I am seeking a full-time teaching position. I am confident that my qualifications and experience will be of
benefit to your organization and would appreciate the opportunity to interview with you at a convenient time. I may
be reached at the phone number and address listed on my resume.
Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Letter #5:
In response to your advertisement in the Springfield Herald, I wish to apply for the post of Office Manager. Prior to
the death of my husband last year, we ran a successful carpet cleaning business for 22 years. I ran the office,
supervising two office workers and a cleaning staff of 12.
Although my associate degree in accounting was acquired more than 20 years ago, I have built extensively on the
skills I learned at school, including taking formal classes, several of them related to computer literacy. These are
described in more detail in the attached resume.
I can offer your company a strong work ethic, a wealth of experience, and a willingness to learn. I would be pleased
to discuss the position and my qualifications further when you have had a chance to review my resume. You can
reach me at 555-5555.

I am submitting my resume to you for consideration for the position of High-Rise Operations Manager, as advertised
on the Doe Employment Hotline. My experience on the Springfield Tower crew has taught me the proper balance of
respect and efficiency necessary for operating repair and cleaning equipment 50 or 60 stories above the earth. I am

I appreciated the time you spent on the phone with me earlier today discussing the opening for a zookeeper. Here is
the copy of my resume that I agreed to send you.
I have always loved working with animals, and although my formal education does not entirely reflect this interest, I
spent all my summers throughout high school and college working for veterinary surgeons. I worked for four years in
an urban, small animal practice, and three years on a large dairy farm. I am eager and quick to learn and, once I
have been shown what to do, can work without supervision.
Thank you again for agreeing to look at my resume. I look forward to meeting you.
Letter #11:
A friend who works at the Springfield branch told me that you are seeking to fill the position of Consumer Loan
Processing Manager. As my enclosed resume indicates, I have had considerable experience in processing a variety
of consumer and real estate loans.
In my previous position, I processed and documented appraisals, titles, flood certifications and insurance after, of
course, verifying each client’s income. I have been involved in numerous real estate and consumer loans, and often
resolved credit issues that could have been potential deal breakers. In the process, I have developed substantial
telephone and interpersonal skills and am now proficient in closing successful transactions with satisfied customers.
To stay current in my field, I have become proficient in using the Internet and email to process and send various
loan-related transfers and attachments. Of necessity, I have developed a typing speed that exceeds 80 wpm. As
would be expected, I have excellent PC skills and can operate Word and Excel. In the past year, I have also created
several motivational Power Point Presentations for our team members.
My current expertise and future potential should help me stand out as the candidate who could most adequately fill
the position that is now open in your loan department. I am confident that I can be a valuable asset to XYZ Bank
Corporation as the Consumer Loan Processing Manager.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet with you to discuss my qualifications and experience. If agreeable to you,
have your secretary call me at 555-5555 and we can set up an interview at your earliest convenience.
Letter #12:
I am writing in response to last Sunday’s ad for the Regional Sales Manager position in your Account Development
Group. As this position involves increasing your classified ad clientele by improving sales presentations, I believe
that I am the “dynamic person” with the “recent experience” you are looking for.
As a Sales Associate for a modest newspaper organization in Denver, I developed and maintained client
5/7

6. relationships for five successful years. During that time, the newspaper enjoyed a large volume of repeat business
involving accounts of all sizes. In this position I was able to develop excellent sales presentation skills, and found
the challenge of winning the trust and business of new clients an especially rewarding experience.
More recently, as Assistant Sales Manager in a somewhat larger organization, I helped to bolster the low profit
margin by streamlining and updating the company’s sales presentations. After they implemented an employee
development seminar based on my guidelines, account sales increased substantially, leading to a new customer
increase of 21%. In the following fiscal year, this new clientele generated more than $150,000 in additional revenue.
I believe my ample experience, innovative ideas, and effective interpersonal skills would make me a desirable
addition to the Newspaper Enterprise Company. I would welcome the opportunity to help Newspaper Enterprise
Company achieve its full potential.
I would appreciate the opportunity to talk with you in person concerning the advertised position. I am available for an
interview any weekday morning. If you are agreeable, please have your secretary call me and we can set up an
appointment. I have enclosed my current resume and will be happy to supply you with two letters of
recommendation as well.
Letter #13:
My friend, Jane Doe, who is a teller in your Springfield branch, told me that you are looking for a Consumer Loan
Processing Specialist. As my enclosed resume shows, I have had considerable experience in processing real estate
and consumer loans.
At my previous employers, I have requested and handled all aspects of processing and documenting appraisals,
titles, flood certifications and insurance as well as verifying income. With my well-developed human relations and
communications abilities, I have successfully processed many real estate and consumer loans and successfully
resolved loan problems. My customer service and detail orientation skills will help me at XYZ Bank Corporation to
meet your customer’s needs.
In addition, my typing speed is over 60 wpm with 99% accuracy. I have excellent PC skills and can operate Word
and Excel.
I would like to talk with you about my loan processing experiences and describe how I can assist XYZ Bank
Corporation with their consumer and real estate loans.
Please call me at 555-5555 so we can plan a time to talk about the position. Jane, my friend, recommended that I
call in a few days if I have not heard from you.
Letter #14:
The purpose of my letter is to let you know of my strong interest in the Project Manager position which you
advertised in the San Jose Mercury News on Sunday.
As you can see on my enclosed resume, my experience and qualifications closely match the requirements for the
position. I feel my outstanding work experience and excellent educational credentials qualify me for the position. At a
previous employer, I accomplished the following:
* Created, developed and implemented a new project tracking system which reduced work load by 23% saving more
than $145,000 in operating expenses.
* Reduced expenses by $278,000 in six months by modifying the manufacturing process which also significantly
improved employee productivity.
6/7

7. Five years ago, I received my MBA from Duke University, Magna Cum Laude with a 3.96/4.0 GPA. I was recognized
as being first in the graduating class.
I would very much appreciate talking with you about how I can assist you in improving your operations and reducing
operational expenses. I will call you in a few days to follow-up and answer any questions you may have.
Letter #15:
I would like to be considered for the Senior Treasury Analyst position that you are advertising in the Cincinnati
Herald. If you look over my enclosed resume, you will see that I have earned an MBA as well as a CPA. I believe this
training, coupled with 10 years of experience in accounting and finance, fully qualifies me to fill this position.
I have worked in several large banking organizations where I have conducted various independent financial analysis
projects. I am proficient in using GAAP and Excel, and have developed excellent organizational skills as well. For
example, in my last position I modified several procedures, which significantly reduced the analysis time previously
spent on company projects. Within eight months, this enabled my employer to save over $200,000 in operating
expenses. I was subsequently named “Employee of the Year”and received a $5,000 bonus check at the annual
banquet.
I would like to discuss my qualifications with you in person because I believe I can assist ABC Bank in reaching its
analysis objectives. I will call next week to see if I can set up an interview with you at that time.
Letter #16:
I saw your ad for an experienced sewing machine operator in the Springfield Times and would like to be considered
for this position.
I have enjoyed sewing for family and friends for many years. Three years ago, I entered the workforce and joined the
sewing team at Durable Luggage Company. My experience on the Juki Industrial machine includes sewing all sizes
of luggage together, vinyl as well as canvas.
I have also gained experience sewing vinyl and leather upholstery. Last year, my employer received an order from a
furniture manufacturing company that provided us with a lot of upholstery work for several months. Unfortunately,
the company is now sending a lot of their work to India because of increasing labor costs here and I need to look for
a new job.
My employer has also used some of my ideas and designs. For example, I recommended that the sewing process at
Durable Luggage Company be slightly modified. By sewing the inside flaps first and changing the order of how the
bag’s components are attached to each other, the company was able to streamline the luggage manufacturing
process. Because of this change, the company’s productivity rate increased by 12% and I earned the “Outstanding
Employee Award,” which included a bonus check for $500.
I believe that I am well-qualified to be a sewing machine operator at Doe Luggage Company. Please look over my
enclosed resume for more details. My phone number is 555-5555. I will call your office in a few days to see if I can
set up an interview with you at that time.
