Ms. Marianne Parker
Hiring Manager
Oceanside Insurance Company
500 Information Highway
Any Town, USA 11111

Dear Ms. Parker:

This morning I spent some time browsing JobSearchJimmy.com in my search for a position as a salesperson in the insurance industry. For the past five years I've focused on life and health insurance and have acquired a solid foundation and reputation in this area while employed at Big Town Insurance Associates.

Now I am ready to move on and to establish myself here in Any Town, so I was very pleased to see that you are looking for salespeople at your firm. I hope you will give me an opportunity to come in, meet with you and your colleagues, and provide a good overview of my accomplishments, goals, and sales statistics. I feel certain I can become an asset to your company and that your excellent firm can help me excel in this field.

I particularly like working with people one-on-one and am willing to set up appointments and make sales calls in person. I know how important it is for people, especially young families, to have health and life coverage at an affordable price. I will help them do that.

If you're free to meet with me, I'd be happy to make that happen at a time that is convenient for you. In the meantime, please see my enclosed resume for more details about my prior employment, my state certification, and the rewards I received for the work I achieved.

I also have several references and letters of acknowledgment from satisfied clients, all available for you to see if you're interested.

If you wish to get together please call me at 777-777-7777 to set up an interview. Thank you so much for reading my cover letter and resume and allowing me to introduce myself to you. I'm eager to hear from you.

Sincerely,

Rita Job Winner

Last-minute tip: The insurance cover letter above is a good sample to study before writing your own. However, it's essential that your letter be suited to your personality—not just a copy of this one or any other template you may read. The hiring manager will be interested in your skills and experience, and also in learning what kind of person you are, so be sure to put your best foot forward! Include plenty of details related to your ability to work in this industry.
