Mr. Russell Hildebrand
Hiring Manager
Big Town Health Clinic
45 Hospital Way
Big Town, USA 99999

Dear Mr. Hildebrand:

For the past seven years I have worked as a nursing assistant in the health care industry and I have loved every moment—even the ones that have challenged me. Today, however, I am looking for a new position where I can use my administrative skills. So when I saw your post on JobSearchJimmy.com for a person qualified to handle patient charts, updating files and fielding phone calls at the nurses' station in your clinic, I knew right away that I wanted to write a cover letter bidding for this job.

I am available to speak with you in person if you'd like to see what I can do and how my skills fit with your requirements for the person you hire to fill the opening for this clerical job.

Please call me at 777-777-7777. Thank you very much for reading my cover letter and giving some thought to talking with me further. I feel ready and am very willing to take on the responsibilities of this position.

Sincerely,

Harriett Job Finder
