Today's Date Ms. Lola Falana Name of Business 79 Hurley Avenue Kingston, NY 12401 Your name Your address Woodstock, NY 11254 RE: POSITION TITLE Dear Ms. Falana: The following resume is in response to the posting on monster.com's  Web site seeking copy editors. Briefly, let me tell you why I would be a good candidate for the position. As my resume states, I possess a B.A. degree and several years experience as a proofreader and copywriter, complemented by participation in an online copyediting course. I therefore know what to look for when copyediting, have earned perspective from both sides of the coin (proofreading and writing), and am familiar with the production process. This knowledge will enable me to fit into the department as smoothly and efficiently as possible -- considerably quickening my learning curve. Secondly, I love the job. Proofreading does not seem like work to me, because I am naturally detail-oriented, analytical and care about the quality of published material. You can therefore count on my self-motivation, self-sufficiency and eagerness to take on new responsibilities. Finally, I am looking for a long-term position, where, in exchange, I can offer your business stability, dependability and commitment to a job well done. I would be more than happy to discuss my qualifications and the position in further detail. I can be reached at (845) 123-4597 or at email@yahoo.com. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Your name Attachment
