Dear Mr. Peterson:

I am responding to your advertisement in today's New York Times for an Office Manager.  As I read the requirements, I am struck with how similar they are to my background and skills.

I am a motivated self-starter with excellent inter-personal skills.  I enjoy working in a manufacturing setting and feel I have the knowledge and background to be a true asset to you.

I have enclosed a copy of my resume for your review.  I look forward to sharing with you how I feel I might fit into your organization.  I will be in touch with you early next week to discuss the possibility of arranging for an interview.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at 516-555-1212.  Thank you for your    consideration.  I look forward to meeting with you!

Sincerely,



Laura Hernandez
