Mr. Reggie Patrick
Hiring Manager
Quick as a Wink Tours and Travel
64 Swift Street
Anyplace, USA 99999

Dear Mr. Patrick:

My experience in the travel industry is new but my expertise in accounting is not. I’ve been in the business some fifteen years for a variety of clients. When I saw your Advertising on Local news paper , for a position as accounting specialist, I knew it was the time to approach you about being hired. Accounting specialists with expertise in travel are not easy to find. But I am one of them and I’d be thrilled to work for Quick as a Wink.

If you wish to meet to discuss this job, please phone me at 695-888-8756 and I’ll arrange to come to your office at your convenience any weekday afternoon. Thank you for considering my cover letter and giving me a chance to win this job.

Sincerely,

Donald Patterson
