Dear Mr. Smith, 

I was  so excited when my  former  coworker,  Jay  Lopez,  told me about  your opening for an administrative assistant in your Portland offices. A  long-time  Veggies  to  Go  customer  and  an  experienced  admin,  I would  love to help the company achieve its mission of making healthy produce  ahs available as takeout. 

I’ve worked  for small companies  for my entire career, and  I  relish  the  opportunity to wear many hats and work with the team to succeed.  In  my latest role as an administrative assistant at Beauty Corp, I saved my  employer thousands of dollars in temp workers by implementing a self 

scheduling  system  for  the  customer  service  reps  that  cut  down  on  canceled  shifts.  I  also  learned  web  design,  time  sheet  coding,  and  perfected my Excel skills. 

I’ve attached my resume for your consideration and hope to speak with  you soon about your needs for the role. 

Sincerely, 

Elizabeth Johnson (signature hard copy letter)
