Salutation Dear Ms. Prempeh:

Introduction Why you are writing (1 sent) Why you’re suitable (1 sent) How you heard about the job (1 sent) When you’re available to start. (1 sent) I am writing to you in order to apply for the position of part-time store assistant at your Bramalea City Centre Location, and my resume is enclosed. I feel that my love of animals, combined with my excellent interpersonal skills would make me very suitable for this position. I was very excited to read about this position in The Brampton Guardian this past weekend and applied immediately. I am available to start on February 1, 2012.

Main Body Why do you wish to work there ? What strengths/skill do you have which would benefit the employer? (relate these to your resume skills/experience) This section is 4-5 sentences. I have been a pet owner for many years and have loved visiting your store to purchase supplies. I have always been impressed by the cleanliness of your store and by the excellent service provided there. My outgoing and friendly nature, combined with solid organizational skills and the ability to work without supervision would make me an excellent candidate for this position. I have utilized these skills with a good degree of success in various positions, including newspaper delivery and in my work at Shady Cove Home. I therefore feel that I have much to offer your company and its customers.
