Closing

The closing should read "Sincerely," followed by your signature underneath, then your full name in print underneath that. Always leave enough room for your signature between the closing and your name when you print your cover letter. Your signature should always be handwritten in ink.

Your letter should now look something like this.

Dear Mr. Smith:

 

Your recent advertisement in THE CHARLESTON TIMES described an executive secretarial position in which I am very interested.  I want to secure a secretarial position in the Charleston area which offers opportunities for upward mobility.  This position appears to have exciting possibilities for the right candidate.

 
After researching The Tallon Corporation, I was impressed with your rapid growth in the computer software market.  I believe my part-time work experience at a comparable software company in Columbia and my technology training highly qualify me for your position.  In addition to my experience and training, I was the recipient of the Technology Award at a recent state-wide context for Business Education students.  The fact that I speak Spanish fluently should also benefit your company since you have a number of clients in Spanish-speaking countries

 
Since it is difficult to reach me during the day, I will call you next Wednesday to schedule an appointment for an interview.  I can be reached, however, after 5 p.m. at  803-555-0456.  Thank you for considering my application.  I am excited about the possibility of working for the Tallon Corporation.

Sincerely,
Karen Jones
