Ms. Jane Doe
Recruiting Manager
Company X
112 S. Kansas Street
Chicago, IL 54589

Dear Ms. Doe,

I am writing to inquire of marketing positions that may be available within Company X. Currently, I am working for a marketing firm in Dallas, Texas and am looking to relocate to the Chicago area.

There are several key characteristics that have allowed me to be successful in my business career thus far. My experiences as a Marketing Manager have allowed me the opportunity to work with a variety of products along with numerous marketing firms across the county. Over the past year, I have developed a tremendous amount of product knowledge and have proven my ability to interact with companies and agents in an array of settings. Through product education seminars and direct contact with agents, I have been able to market specific products that were very significant in meeting quarterly and annual goals, both individually and company wide.

My marketing background will allow me to be an immediate impact as I look to pursue a career in the Chicago area. I am confident that I have the knowledge and skills that are needed to be successful in your company.

I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss a position with Company X. I have enclosed my resume with additional information about my qualifications. Feel free to contact me by phone at (555) 555-5555 or by email at johndoe@yahoo.com

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,



John Doe
