About This Cover Letter Sample

Here are a few things that I particularly like about this cover letter.

The overall tone of Frank’s letter is both friendly and professional. From the salutation (“Dear Paul”), we see that Frank is on a first-name basis with his reader. And from the last sentence (“It’ll be nice to see you again!”) we know that they have already met.
Bullet points in the body of the letter highlight Frank’s relevant work history and achievements.
The second-to-last paragraph addresses salary without revealing any numbers. This leaves the negotiating to be discussed in person at a later point.

Dear Paul,
Thanks for sending me the job description for the Community Health Educator position. My resume is enclosed.

The position sounds ideal for me, as I have extensive experience in the areas required: developing and conducting training, creating and disseminating educational messages, and establishing trust and dialogue with diverse communities.

At the Washtenaw County Clinic, I delivered trainings and program support to numerous community-based organizations.
Working with AIDSCOM, I quickly established rapport with AIDS program Staff in other counties, providing highly effective technical assistance.
For the Northern G.A.P. project, I coordinated a school-based AIDS education program for youth, interfacing with teachers, parents and community leaders.
