Any Town, USA 99999

Dear Mr. Thomas:

With this cover letter, I’m applying for the position of administrative clerk, which you listed on Resumel.com. In my previous employment as one of two administrative clerks at Lawton’ Department Store I was responsible for compiling and maintaining the records of business transactions and office activities and performing a variety of clerical duties as well as making use of the knowledge of systems and procedures specific to that store. I can do the same for your company if you hire me to fill this opening.

May we get together to talk more about this job and how I can fit the profile? Please phone me at 777-777-888 so we can arrange a date and time that suits your schedule. Thank you for reading this cover letter and my resume. I look forward to receiving your reply.

Sincerely,

Grace Matthews
