Sample Cover Letter Outline

 

Mr. Henry Fouche
Best Plans Publicity, Inc.
800 Madison Avenue
New York , NY 10022

Dear Mr. Fouche,

Nancy Jones of Green & Associates Advertising, suggested I contact you regarding the possible public relations opening in your firm.

As an editor/writer for Alexandria 's city magazine, I've developed my talent and experience as a public relations writer. Because the staff is very small, I've worn a number of hats, including: developing the editorial format and individual story concepts, writing numerous articles, editing copy, laying out the magazine, and supervising production.

Prior to my current position, I was highly involved in the public relations industry, working for Jones & Jones, where I prepared numerous press releases and media guides, as well as managing several major direct mail campaigns.

My high degree of motivation has been recognized by my previous employers who have quickly promoted me to positions of greater responsibility. I was promoted from assistant editor to editor of Alexandria Monthly after only five months.

I am eager to talk with you about the contribution I could make to your firm. I will call you the week of April 25th to see if we can find a mutual time and date to get together and discuss the possibility.

Your consideration is greatly appreciated.

Cordially,


Mary Davison

 

Tips to Make Your Letter More Professional

  • Research the company and the specifics about the position so you can tailor your letter to the needs of the organization.
  • Avoid using too many sentences that start with "I" or writing in the passive voice (ex. "This experience enabled me to..." or "Through my internship, I was responsible for..."); instead, make yourself the subject of each sentence and use active descriptions (ex., "In this internship, I demonstrated sound judgment and problem-solving skills on a daily basis.").
  • Do not use contractions (I'd, didn't, it's).
  • Spelling, grammar, or punctuation mistakes are out of the question! Cover letters are a reflection of your writing skills, so make each cover letter an example of your best work.
  • Be sure to sign your letters. (Black ink is suggested)
  • Keep your letter short and simple. This is not the time to tell your whole life's story.
  • Have a Career Specialist review your cover letters during drop-in hours: Monday-Friday 1:30 – 4:30 and Wednesday 8:30am – 11:30am OR you can make an appointment anytime.
  • Use good quality paper that matches your resume paper and envelopes.

And at last the main thing:

What should the cover letter do for you?

It should answer followings question - Why should I hire you? It should grab the employers attention and point out why you, above all other applicants, should be contacted for a personal interview. If you are answering this correctly in your cover letter, you will get interview call next day. Checkout how to write a cover letter for more information on writing a cover letter.
