Dear [Recipient Name]:

I am writing in response to your notice in the July 13 Elm Street Gazette for a sales representative. I have a lot to offer your firm, including five years of experience in sales.

Some specific accomplishments include:

Expanded client base by 40 percent through persistent effort and excellent service.

Ninety percent of my clients renewed annual contracts.

Traveled throughout large territory, managing time well.

Does this sound like the person you need? If it does, I am eager to speak with you. I’ve enclosed my resume for your review. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

Enclosure
