(123)-456 7890.
Date: 1st May, 2005.
Mr. John Smith,
Director, Personnel Department
Coastal Products Incorporated
257, Park Avenue South,
New York, NY 12345-6789.
Dear Mr. Smith,
As a May 20XX MBA candidate, I have been actively researching career paths that offer
substantial growth opportunities in industries with significant impact. In my opinion,
Standard Oil of Ohio is unsurpassed in meeting these objectives. As a native Clevelander, I
have followed your development from a strong regional marketer and refiner to a fully
domestic oil and energy corporation. The financial risks assumed with the British
Petroleum merger and the subsequent capital outlays for the development of North Slope
production were great. The rapid growth of income and the necessity of reinvestment (at
profitable returns on investment) are critical to the future success of the corporation. It is in
this area that I can make a substantial contribution. Specifically, I am interested in being a
member of your Financial Planning and Analysis Department.
I offer the following qualifications:
Developed analytical skills and working knowledge of three computer languages.
- Three years of working experience (one and one-half years full time) with a
contractor at production fields, pipelines, refineries, and gasoline service stations.
- A strong desire to distinguish myself through hard work and creativity
I am confident that my strong background and knowledge of the oil industry will enable
me to be a productive member of your Financial Planning and Analysis Department. The
enclosed resume summarizes my accomplishments.
I have planned a trip to Cleveland during the week of March 10th, and hope to arrange an interview with you sometime during that period. I will call you within a week to schedule an appointment.
Sincerely,
Richard Anderson
