Dear Mr. Burns, 

I'm writing to inquire about the recently advertised Receptionist Position with Products.com. 

My earlier work experience as a volunteer phone bank operator taught me that clear communication while on the telephone is essential.  

My work as a Candy Striper showed me over and over how being friendly, helpful and polite can make a real difference in a person's day. 

As a receptionist, I know that I would be the first contact many people will have with your company and I take that responsibility very seriously. 

I am used to working in a fast-paced environment and have a highly developed ability to stay focused when the pressure rises. I am reliable, punctual and have a very good memory for names, faces and phone numbers. 

I know that there's only one chance to make a first impression, and I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you to show you how I could make sure the first impression people have of your business is a positive one. 

I can be reached at the following addresses and numbers:

• Address:  Hope Full, 1919 Lucky Street, Home Town, IL 60610
• Cell Phone:  123-456-7890
• Land Line:  456-123-7890
• E-mail:  hopefull@easymail.com 

My resume is enclosed. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you. 

Sincerely,

Hope Full
