Dear Sir or Madame:

Good day. I am sending you this job application with the hope of fulfilling your quest for assistance while finding myself a good job.

Like most job candidates, I am smart, talented and enthusiastic. Unlike most candidates, I have traveled through an interesting background filled with diverse accomplishments and unique experiences. My unique skills include advanced analytic, research, drafting, communication and organizational abilities. These skills are highly useful when applied to a wide variety of substantive areas, such as the matters for which you need assistance. I am anxious to delve into them.

My goal is to secure a permanent job where my talents could be put to good use in a professionally challenging environment. Salary is important but secondary to securing the opportunity to jumpstart my career in a place where I can have a long and prosperous future. Thank you for considering how I can satisfy this opportunity which I hope to interview for soon.

Sincerely,
