Cover Letter for John Q. Smith

Mr. N. Scheinbein
Lollipop Guild, Inc.
414 Tasty Lane
Chicago, IL 60609

Dear Mr. Scheinbein,

My outgoing personality, my sales experience, and my recently completed education make me a strong candidate for a position as an insurance broker for the Lollipop Guild, Inc.

I recently graduated from the University of Nebraska with a degree in marketing, where I was president of both the Future Business Leaders of America and the American Marketing Association.

Although a recent graduate, I am not a typical new graduate. I attended school in Michigan, Arizona, and Oregon. And I've put myself through these schools by working such jobs as radio advertising sales, newspaper subscription sales, and bartending, all of which enhanced my formal education.

I have the maturity, skills, and abilities to embark on a career in insurance brokering, and I'd like to do this in Illinois, my home state.

I will be in Illinois at the end of this month, and I'd like very much to talk with you concerning a position at the Lollipop Guild. I will follow up this letter with a phone call to see if I can arrange a time to meet with you.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

        Sincerely,
                      John Smith
