Dear Ms. McCuddy:

I am writing to express my strong interest in the position of Community Relations Coordinator at the

Museum of Fine Arts. After learning about this opening, and then researching your organization, I am

confident that I would be an ideal addition to your team of committed staff members in this newly created

position.

As a history major with ample experience in teaching, customer service, and community outreach and

relations, I am fully aware of the importance of growing strong relationships with constituents and the

importance of strong interpersonal and organizational skills in order to make this come fruition. My strong

interest in working for the Museum comes from my passion for customer service and my eagerness to share

my love for the fine arts.

The particular position of Community Relations Coordinator is immensely appealing to me for a number of

reasons. To begin, through my liberal arts education, I have gained an exceptional ability to “think outside the

box,” as they say, and to “see the big picture,” rather than getting bogged down in the minutia of details. In

majoring in history, I was exposed to many courses in philosophy, literature, and political science as well,

which gave me a better well-rounded educational experience. Additionally, I am positive that my exceptional

communication skills, which I utilized to the fullest in many of my former positions, particularly working as a

park ranger, an administrative associate, and food service employee, will be of great benefit to the Museum in

this position.

Secondly, my recent experience as a teacher has helped improve my presentation skills, as well as my abilities

to work with people of all ages – from the children and their parents to my colleagues – and given me a better

understanding of how to work with a diverse group of community members. Although it has not always been

easy, I believe that I have been successful in my current teaching position, and have gained the respect of

everyone with whom I work.

I look forward to speaking with you further about this exciting new position, and would welcome the

opportunity to discuss further with you my qualifications, and to learn more about your hiring process. I will

follow up with you early next week and look forward to our conversation.

Sincerely,

John Doe
