Mr. Bart Holmes
Human Resource Director RE: MIS Manager position
555-456-7890 fax advertised 4/5/9X City Times
Dear Mr. Holmes:
As an experienced and successful MIS Manager, I offer you all of the qualifications listed in your advertisement -- and then some. I am, therefore, faxing you my resume with this letter.
As my resume illustrates, I possess the track record, technical knowledge, and expertise to effectively:
-- Design, develop, implement, and support all MIS functions.
-- Evaluate, recommend, and purchase hardware, software, and supplies.
-- Manage, develop, and support multiplatform environments.
-- Demonstrate proficiency with Appletalk, Novell, and Windows.
My work at a leading architectural design firm expanded my abilities to apply the best that today's computer technology has to offer from a more creative point of view than many other MIS Managers may possess. As a result, I have an unusual talent for turning challenges into solutions that can yield profitable results.
The benefit of working for a smaller firm is that I had the opportunity to handle a range of responsibilities. The downside is that my salary history may not be in line with industry standards. I would be pleased to provide you with more information on this when we have the chance to meet. If you will contact me at (555) 765-4321, I will be pleased to set up an appointment.
Sincerely,
Michael Manning

Mr. George Misal
Vice President
Digital Equipment Corporation
1234 Main Street
Encino, CA 09876
Dear Mr. Misal:
My immediate superior describes me as "a unique combination of left brain logic and right brain creativity." My engineering background drives my methodical approach to solving problems. My creativity produces the flexibility to assess and assemble numerous alternatives.
I am responding to your ad for a Communications Specialist because my left brain logic has determined that my skills are ideally suited to fulfill the responsibilities of this position.
My exceptional communication skills allow me to either distill complex technical information into customer requirements, or define customer requirements and then apply the appropriate technology. As a result, your firm will set a new standard in customer satisfaction. My experience with multiple vehicles for conveying information -- such as video tape, multimedia presentations, radio spots, and national TV programs -- will enable you to serve a broader client base more cost-effectively.
I am a quick study and have educated myself on subjects from business financial models to Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (NMR). Currently, I am responsible for aftermarket Personal Computer Multimedia products in both the commercial and retail markets.
My right brain creativity would welcome the opportunity to meet in person and explore the opportunities my unique strengths will bring to Digital.
I will call you shortly to schedule an appointment.
Sincerely,
