Dear Mr. Lewis,

I am most interested in your advertisement for a full-time Sales Associate and feel that my qualifications and experience are well suited to your needs.

For more than five years, I have been involved in retail sales, with three years directly in Men's Apparel. As a salesperson in this department, I dealt directly with customers and provided them with individual "specialized" Service.

At your earliest convenience, I would like to meet with you and discuss your personnel needs and how I might contribute to your company.

Thank you for your consideration.

Enclosure

Sincerely,

Richard van Nort

Also, be sure to sign your letter!! (You would be surprised at the number of people who forget).
