Dear Mr. Rainy:

Thank you for posting your job opening for an administrative assistant on WhereYouFoundIt.com. The expected duties fit my skill set very well. I have had over four years of experience as an administrative assistant for Joe's Cabinets, preparing and planning presentations for top executives at the company, facilitating the attendance of new clients at those events, following up on phone calls, and keeping client files in order.

Is it possible for me to discuss my skills at your office, along with the expected tasks and duties required by someone in this position? I'd also like to learn more about the direction of your company. The main duties involve public relations, and this is an area of great interest to me, so I hope to join the company and take on every project you give me.

Please give me a call at (555) 555-1234 to set up an interview that fits your schedule. Thank you for reviewing this letter and the attached resume. I hope to meet you in person soon.

Sincerely,

(signature)
Deborah Devorak
