Dear Mr./Ms. LastName,

I am interested in finance and I would like to inquire about positions at ABD Company. ABD's Professional Leadership Program has been recommended to me as one of most highly regarded corporate finance training programs in the industry. I would be interested in learning more about the company and about available opportunities. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Accounting from XYZ University. In addition, I completed two internships focusing on finance and spent a summer work for DEF Corporation at its New York City headquarters.

My resume, which is enclosed, contains additional information on my experience and skills. I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss the leadership program with you and to provide further information on my candidacy. I can be reached via my cell phone, 555-555-5555 or by email at bbbb@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to speaking with you about this exciting opportunity.

Sincerely,

Your Signature

Sample Letter of Interest

421 Liberty St.
Kenyon, MN 55021
December 1, 2012

DTI
111 Riverfront Ste 325
PO Box - Box 157
Wabasha, MN 55946

Attention: Jen Carlson

Dear Ms. Carlson: Your recent advertisement in the Herald made it clear that customer satisfaction is an integral part of DTI. In addition, my close friend, Paula Chavez who is in your employ, suggested that my special talents might benefit your customer service department.

Part of my success is because I place a high value on personal integrity and represent both my employer and myself in an ethical and respectable manner. Added to my diligence in paying close attention to detail, as a representative of your company I would bring focus not only to the value of your services, but also to quality customer service and the ease of doing business with DTI. Furthermore, I am a hard, smart-working, self-starter who works equally well in a team environment or individually.

I will call you on December 8 to answer any questions about this letter or my resume in the hope of scheduling an interview. If you prefer, please contact me by phone (555) 454-1307 or e-mail, ljones@nowhere.com.

Thank you for your time in considering my qualifications.

Sincerely, Signature

Linda Jones
