Sample Email Cover Letter

Mr. William Jackson
Employment Manager
Acme Pharmaceutical Corporation

Salisbury, MD 21804

Dear Mr. Jackson:
From your company's web site I learned about your need for a sales
representative for the Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina areas. I
am very interested in this position with Acme Pharmaceuticals, and
believe that my education and employment background are appropriate for
the position.
While working toward my master’s degree, I was employed as a sales
representative with a small dairy foods firm. I increased my sales
volume and profit margin appreciably while at Farmer’s Foods, and I
would like to repeat that success in the pharmaceutical industry. I
have a strong academic background in biology and marketing, and think
that I could apply my combination of knowledge and experience to the
health industry. I will complete my master's degree in marketing in
mid-May and will be available to begin employment in early June.
Enclosed is a copy of my resume, which more fully details my
qualifications for the position.
I look forward to talking with you regarding sales opportunities with
Acme Pharmaceuticals. Within the next week I will contact you to confirm
that you received my email and resume and to answer any questions you
may have.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lynn A. Johnson
