Dear Mr. David:
This letter is in response to your advertisement published in The City Times (dated 1/4/08), regarding the Pharmaceutical Officer position. Enclosed is my resume with the details of my education, experience and professional background.

I have over 5 years of experience in the marketing and sales field and 2 years experience as LPN officer. Throughout my years in the sales and marketing department I have received top sales awards and have trained other sales officers in specific sales techniques to help them achieve higher sales. I relish the opportunity to work with the public as well by demonstrating products and educating others about their use. I believe that I would excel in the position that I have applied for because I find the sales department to offer challenges and rewards. My background in the particular field will also work to my advantage in helping me to understand the nature of the products being sold.

I request to arrange an interview to further discuss my qualifications. I am available at an interview at a time set by mutual consent.

Thank you for your consideration
