Dear Mr. Johnson:
The accompanying résumé is in response to your listing in the Chicago Tribune for a bank teller.
As an student studying economics, who also worked in the college bookstore, I understand the value of money and have the skills to handle it properly. My three years of summer experience in the retail industry will translate well into a dedicated employee in the banking world. In addition, I have a consistent record of working well with others and am certain I would be an asset to your bank.
I am excited about the opportunity to work with a respected financial institution. Your company’s commitment to personal service has impressed me for many years, and I hope to be a part of that service.
I would appreciate an opportunity to meet with you to discuss how my experience will best meet your needs. Therefore, I will call your office on the morning of March 17 to inquire if a meeting can be scheduled at a convenient time.
I look forward to meeting you.
Sincerely,
James Petersen
