Dear Ms. Rakovic:
I would like to become a photographer’s assistant at Vanessya’s Photo Studio. My high school teacher, who is a customer of yours, told me about this position and I hope you will consider me a candidate. I have enclosed a copy of my resumé for your review.
I have considerable background in the field of photography and have taken several high school courses in this subject. One of my major responsibilities for the school yearbook is to take photographs at major school events, including sports and drama. In my current Cooperative Education placement as a media technician with McVee’s Computer Supplies, I have been trained in using computer software and digital equipment to produce specialized photographs for customers. That, in fact, is the reason I am interested in making the field of photography my future career.
I would appreciate the opportunity to meet you to discuss my qualifications in greater detail. I will call you in a few days to see whether an interview can be arranged, unless you contact me first. I am looking forward to hearing from you and thank you for your consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Robert Chow
