Mr. Don Richardson
Human Resources Officer
Liverpool Daily, Inc.

Dear Mr. Richardson,
This is to express my intent to apply for the position of editorial assistant in your company.
I am Mr. Von McCormac, a graduate of journalism from an esteemed institution and a former editor of a national magazine.  Our magazine has been cited with several awards during my employment as editor.  However, I had to leave my previous employment as I relocated to be with my family in London.  In my ten years of work in the field of writing and editing, I have learned the necessary do’s and don’t’s as well as gained valuable experience on effective writing.  I was fortunate to attend several trainings that have also honed my skills and increased my knowledge in the field.

I wish to be part of your company which I know to be one of the leading newspapers in the country. I have attached my resume for your perusal.
Thank you.  I hope you would give me the opportunity to work with you.
Sincerely,
