Dear Mr. Brown,
I would like to apply for the position of Head Coach that was advertised in the Monday, June 30, Cincinnati Post and Enquirer. I am certain that my education, experience, and career goals are well suited for this position.
As a long time speech and debate coach, I have gained skills in personnel management, motivation, tactics, and confrontation. I have coached numerous collegiate speech and debate squads to national ranking. These teams have included, your alma mater, Miami University, Ohio University, Indiana U. Purdue U. Ft. Wayne, and Fort Valley State University.
As a former football player and long time fan, I have amassed an enormous body of football knowledge and information. I have had the opportunity to test these skills as a sportscaster at WMKY FM, and WATH AM.
Could I meet with you and your staff to discuss this opening? You may reach me during business hours at (912)555-1212. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you in the near future.
Sincerely,
[signature]
B. Keith Murphy, Ph.D.
