To whom it may concern,

I read your job posting for a sales representative on your company’s website.
I am interested in applying for the job.
I have a degree in business from the University of Bonnville. My college classes taught me to be a hard worker and good businessman.

I also have experience from working in sales at Joseph’s Book Company.
My education and experience would make me a good member of your team.

Please let me know if I can meet with you for an interview. We can meet at your earliest convenience.

Sincerely,
Lee Timson
