Mr. William Jackson
Employment Manager
Acme Pharmaceutical Corporation

Roanoke, VA 24019
Dear Mr. Jackson:
I read in the April 10th Charlotte Gazette classified section of your need for a sales representative for the Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina areas. I am very interested in a position with Acme Pharmaceuticals, and believe that my education and employment background are appropriate for the position.
While working toward my master’s degree, I was employed as a sales representative with a small dairy foods firm. I increased my sales volume and profit margin appreciably while at Farmer’s Foods, and
hope to couple that success with the challenges and rewards of the pharmaceutical industry. I have a strong academic background in biology and marketing, and think that I could apply this combination of knowledge and experience to the health industry.
Enclosed is a copy of my resume, which more fully details my qualifications for the position.
I look forward to talking with you regarding sales opportunities with Acme Pharmaceuticals. Within the next week I will call you to answer any questions you may have.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Lynn A. Johnson
