Dear Mr. Smith,
I was so excited when my former coworker, Jay Lopez, told me about
your opening for an administrative assistant in your Portland offices. A
long-time Veggies to Go customer and an experienced admin, I would
love to help the company achieve its mission of making healthy produce
as available as takeout.
I’ve worked for small companies for my entire career, and I relish the
opportunity to wear many hats and work with the team to succeed. In
my latest role as an administrative assistant at Beauty Corp, I saved my
employer thousands of dollars in temp workers by implementing a self-
scheduling system for the customer service reps that cut down on

canceled shifts. I also learned web design, time sheet coding, and
perfected my Excel skills.
I’ve attached my resume for your consideration and hope to speak with
you soon about your needs for the role.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Johnson (signature hard copy letter)
