Dear Mr. Curtis:

I am writing to apply for one of the sales openings advertised recently by your company. Enclosed is my resume outlining my background and experience.

I am a self-starter with highly developed skills in setting goals and meeting them. As my resume shows, my background includes several years of successful sales experience. I have been successful in a variety of settings, and can demonstrate excellent planning and communication skills.

I would be interested in any sales position requiring teamwork and a strong work ethic. Those in your eastern district would be of the greatest interest to me, but I would be available at any location.

If you would like to discuss your needs and how I might meet them, please let me know. I will be glad to provide additional details or meet with you for a personal interview. You can reach me by phone at (320)255-2151 or E-mail at joandoe@hotmail.com.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to talking with you.

Sincerely,

Joan Doe
