Body of Cover Letter

employer should select you for an interview, and how you will follow-up.

position you are applying for and where you found the job listing. Include the name of a mutual
contact, if you have one.

The next section of your cover letter should describe what you have to offer the employer.
Mention specifically how your qualifications match the job you are applying for. Remember, you
are interpreting your resume, not repeating it.

information on how you will follow-up.

Sincerely yours,
Handwritten Signature (for a mailed letter)
