Your dedication to the news media and your understanding of the important role journalists play in today's fast-paced information highway, coupled with your belief in the power of the press, is exemplary.I have had the privilege of honing my journalistic abilities on three widely different publications. When I left college, I immediately went to work for the typical small-town newspaper and learned all aspects of getting the paper to the people in a timely manner. I then moved to a position as a regional manager for a media corporation composed of small to mid-size newspapers in the Midwest. In my current position, I am Chief Correspondent for one of the largest newspapers in the southwest.I would like an opportunity to visit with you to get your insight and suggestions on where my skills and abilities would be of the greatest value to the ACME Times and to inquire about possible job openings with your company.I will call your office to set a convenient time. I do look forward to meeting you.Sincerely,Ethan ApplicantSimone Applicant123 Main Street, Anytown, CA 12345 · 555-555-5555 · simone.applicant@September 1, 2018Elaine LeeDirector, Human ResourcesACME Accounting123 Business Rd.Business City, NY 54321Dear Ms. Lee,As a recent honors graduate in Accounting at the Franklin University, I am eager to find a position with a Top Ten accounting firm.
