Patricia Cummings
Director, Human Resources
Springfield Publishing Co.
123 Mission Street
Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Dear Ms. Cummings:

With my keen interest in exploring opportunities in the publishing industry, I have enclosed my resume for your review.

Recently I volunteered editing a literary journal for the Literature Department and have been responsible for editing the newsletter for my college. I consider myself a good writer and an avid reader and have always wanted to enter the field of publishing. Over the last two years, I also have gained valuable knowledge and experience in many aspects of personnel assistance, office procedures, and administrative operations. With my considerable energy, drive, and ability to work long hours, I believe I could make a positive contribution to Springfield Publishing, and I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my qualifications at your earliest convenience.

If you have any questions regarding the information on my resume, or if you need personal references, please contact me through the address or telephone number listed above.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look foward to meeting with you.

   
 

Sincerely,


Chris Smith
