Dear Mr. Diaz:

Your advertisement in the New York Times appealed to me for two reasons. You plan to open up a new branch of Saccharine Confections; I seek the opportunity to manage a newly-opened store. I am also interested in building my career in the food industry. Therefore, I have decided to submit my resume in application for the position of Store Manager.

My relevant experience includes three years as a candy chef for Sticky Sweets of Boston and my current position as assistant store manager of Licorice and Lollipops.

I look forward to discussing opportunities at Saccharine Confections with you. I will call you next week to make sure you have received my resume and to set up a mutually agreeable time for us to speak.

Yours truly,


Cosima Fenway
