Example of an email with a resume attached:
Dear Mr. Jones,
Your recent posting on the School or Art and Design’s website greatly intrigued me. Incredible
Games is a leader in cutting edge game design and I have been following the company’s rise for
the past several years from a 3-person operation to your current status of over 100 employees
worldwide.
As you can see from my resume, I have been working steadily over the past 3 years to increase
my proficiency in animation and animation software. Your posting particularly stressed the
importance of good hand drawing skills as well as proficiency with programs like Maya, Flash,
3D Max and After Effects, all of which I possess. In addition, you can see that I have experience
working as part of a team as well as being able to take initiative in my freelance work.
Please take a look at my designs, renderings and animations on my website:
I will follow up with you at the end of April, however, if you have any questions in the mean
time please don’t hesitate to be in touch either via email or phone.
