CHAPTER III
Appendix 4b: Template of a cover letter
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am particularly interested in working for the company like yours as I believe you offer the
opportunity for advancement and, at the same time, you impose maximum requirements.
My previous experience and academic background will be valuable in this area of market. I
am sure I would be successful in this post as I have already gained practical knowledge in
customer service, sales and company working systems. The position would also require
someone who, like me, has cooperated extensively and knows the difficult art of negotiation.
Working as a manager for the chain store TATUUM offered me an opportunity to use my
organizational skills in dealing with a precise and prompt execution of my superiors’ orders.
During my time at TATUUM, I was involved mainly in company budget planning, deliveries,
sales reports and monitoring of communication.
I like group work but I am successful in individual work as well. I deal with people quite well
hence I do not have any problems with adapting to a new environment. I am open to new
experience and quite consistent. Apart from the skills described in my c.v., I think my solidity
and responsibility as well as my personal charm would prove useful to your company.
I hope to hear from you in due course. Please let me know if you would like further
information about me.
Yours faithfully,
Jan Kowalski
