Dear Mr. Ashcraft:

It was with great excitement that I read your advertisement seeking an entry-level, part-time copywriter. My work at The Herald and my volunteer work on the Her Lady of Consolation newsletter have qualified me to undertake this challenging and important role. I am passionate about excellence in the written word and would consider it a great honor to be able to work for your fine publication. My enclosed resume details my skills and achievements in greater detail. In addition to these please consider the following highlights:

Graduated with University Honors in English.
Proven ability to meet tight publishing deadlines.
Three years of increasing responsibilities at a respected daily newspaper.

I am currently pursuing a master’s degree in English Literature and hope to find part-time employment which will support these studies. I know that I have the relevant experience and skills to be a valuable addition to your team.

My resume has been attached for your convenience. I would love the chance to have a personal interview with you and will call you on Monday to see if this may be scheduled. If you would like to contact me sooner feel free to contact me at (801) 768-2248. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Oman T. Merck
